The Election Thread

[metrobhoy2]

My folks voted SNP a few years ago when they knew Labour took care of itself UK-wide (as did many Scot's) but feel it's a wasted vote now and voted Labour today.

Personally I only know two people who support the tories and both of them are utter cunts that come from money and think they are something!

I've only voted against Labour in the bi elections. You're bang on with what you have to do this time around.

Got a sneaking feeling my Sister in Law's new family are torries They live down in Kent though.

Counting in Foyle and East Londonderry constituencies has been suspended due to a security alert.

A suspicious car was abandoned at Templemore Sports Complex in Londonderry.

It is understood a nearby sheltered housing complex for elderly people has also been evacuated.

Mark Durkan, SDLP candidate for Foyle, said those responsible did not stand for election because "they knew they would get very little support".

Republicans don't need British elections to justify their position, as Gerry Adams (lol) once said "The IRA Needs no political mandate, it derives its mandate from the presence of the British in the six counties".

[HamiltonBhoy]

In all honesty, they had from 7am this morning until 10pm tonight to cast a vote. Imo the polling station should only remain open if there's a queue but there's no excuse unless you work a 17 hr shift from 7:00 to 22:00.

Have you heard what time the queues formed? I mean they could have in there since past tea-time. The experts are blaming the administration.

[HamiltonBhoy]

Was just having a wee swatch on the Belfast Telegraph, I didn't realise how tight it was in the North of Ireland. The opinion poll they ran came out with DUP 26%, Sinn Féin 25%, SDLP 17%, UCUNF 13% and others 19%.

They've not mentioned it on any of the news websites, that's what I was trying to find out earlier. If it's been a cock up and they've been outside from tea time it will be a case of sweep, sweep.
