I knew there was something about today.


How on earth can anyone possibly forget.  The media have been wanking themselves senseless for weeks. Still, its made all but the saddest forget about Brexit.

What's this Brexit of which you speak ?

I've forgotten

You'll be reminded very soon.

Just rechecked our local candidates in the hope that a viable candidate had come forward. But no.

Usual bunch of knobjockeys from the main 4. One of the independents is a nutter, the other is a fan of trashing all the countryside to create houses for the lame and lazy.

None mention HS2 - in fact I've only seen the Brexit Party mention in, but they aren't standing.


What a choice of nobodies.  Christ, I'm even considering the greens .


If Opti was here, I reckon he'd go Labour, as she is only a single bag job. Leadsom and the Greens are both 3 bag jobs.


Fortunately, I think Labour stand no chance here, as its Tory belt, and this constituency were bigoted enough to vote Leave 54/46%.  Although highly scientific research* shows nobody here likes Boris' deal, so who knows.

I've done the GREEN thing ,left my thirsty V6 Omega parked outside my house 
walked to the other side of the road ,the polling station is directly opposite me ,so about 10 paces 
i didn't vote for the green party though

I *WILL* go down and vote, but not sure I can bring myself to vote for any of the 6 candidates. Might be a spoil as a protest.


In India (I think), there is a NOTA option, which if it gets a certain percentage, that region has to go through the process again, but none of the original candidates are allowed to stand.  I think that's a cracking idea.

Imo, how you vote depends on whether or not you live in a marginal seat. If I lived in one I would hold my nose and vote Tory.
I don't, so I have the luxury of having a protest vote.
It has to be any tactic which doesn't allow Corbyn into number 10, unless your a lunatic by the name of Michael Heseltine, who said on tv last night that he would rather that scenario than a Tory victory. His europhillia has literally driven him past the point of insanity.

Hesaltine - a local resident here - has a monk on because the government have approved and funded a new bypass around Farthinghoe. Its made him quite cross, which has cheered up the last few weeks

That's what they said on the telly.

Never seen the point of "doing a spoil" it'll get the same notice paid to it as not voting in the first place so you might as well save some time and not bother turning out to the polling station.I know none of them are really worth voting for but someone has to be in government.

[Andy B]

my dilemma was that the local Labour councillor has been good for the area but is against Brexit ...... and I voted leave!

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Brexit is the only game in town this time around. Normal service can be resumed next time. Its whether or not we finally kill off whats left of our democracy or give it the kiss if life imo.

I see, understand, and accept what you are saying.

However, we are privileged to be able to vote. And I feel that everybody* should/must cast a vote.  That's just the way I feel.  But I am really struggling to put a cross against any of the wet dreams I can chose from.

Hopefully it goes throught his garden.
