I've always thought it's a poor system. That’s a good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be very accurate for it to be a landslide. Even if it ended up at 350, that's a dominant win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your voting then you have ID of some description, not even asking for the polling card, I just don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The register that is open to anyone, can you not see what I mean, everyone has something with their name on it, I'd be suspicious of someone who couldn't provide anything.

DoolinDalton Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Surely, in the 21st Century (this day and age, as they say!) there should be, by now, a procedure that determines a voters identity. It can't be difficult, as everyone MUST have some form of identity, be it a NI number, a driving licence (photo ID), passport, etc. Yeh, I know....not everyone drives or goes abroad.... but there is always some way of certifying the identity of people...except, that is, of those females that wear a burka! It really is time that our Government sorted this issue out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm a bit gutted about the exit poll - I was hoping the Lib Dems would make inroads into the Labs and SNP (the bright side might be Swinson losing). However it's clear that this election has been a de facto second referendum and the answer is unequivocal to leave, so at least now it can all be done and dusted - in a year's time. So I'm just looking for the lighter side of the night's proceedings: Nothing if not committed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that. Yet we let god knows how many Irish citizens vote today, (I’m talking the Republic of Ireland as well, not NI) and they are neither U.K. or British citizen. How does that work? A EU country voting in our GE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife, who is from Thailand, didn't vote (but obviously has British citizenship) as she has no interest in our politics...(at least we're less corrupt than Thai politicians) so I said I'd use her card also☺️. She said it's addressed to Mrs DD....so I replied that I would say that I am now non gender specific...(or whatever bull carp they spout) and this is my name (Mrs DD). Would I have gotten away this this, i wonder? 😲 I voted at approx 9.30 this morning. The only person in front of me was a muslim lady. When I was in the booth, I overheard her asking the electoral officer if he had a pen, to which he replied ''there's a pencil in the booth!'. Probably the first time that this lady had voted! Do Muslim women usually tend to vote? We went to Durham City at approx 11.30 and I noticed that a lot of Uni students were voting ( at the church in the main square, if you're familiar with Durham) and there were even queues forming! I overheard, as I was walking, one female student asking the other if she had read 'his manifesto'.....(JC's?) ; so it would seem that at least some students take an interest in politics...probably just to see what freebies they might gain from them!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 How long till Jeremy Corbyn resigns as leader of the much reduced Labour party? What will Jo Swinson do next? As she may well not hold her seat! Interesting times indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resignation speech, sack cloth and ashes and having to avoid a lot of Lib Dem supporters trying to call up to say, 'I TOLD YOU SO!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
