Current Affairs The General Election

[john jako]

@Tramps_mate the first few will come in very quickly (there's some up in Sunderland who rush to declare first), but usually you'd be looking between 12 and 4.

It’s odd the way some areas rush to get the declaration in. It’s like a weird competition they have.

Does he leave tomorrow ?

If certain voters have their way

I suspect history, notoriety and making a usually drab affair something more interesting are the primary reasons.

Bellend.

Rangers fan being a bellend. Standard. Loving top red Souness there, one for the tory RS folder.

Its weirdly quite interesting. I have done a few counts, years ago. When young, I worked in a bank, like when customers came in and you had to count bundles of bank notes, accurately. So every election, all the banks were asked for their staff to be used as counters. Got paid ok as well.

So you get a box of slips, sort them into the different piles, then count em into 100 blocks, all the time with a party rep opposite you watching with a beady eye. And as the piles mount up at the top desk, the tension becomes palpable.

The party reps are supposed to be very firm according to a friend who has done counting before lol

The fact the head Jewish priest said don't vote for labour will be a massive factor aswell. Even Alan sugar a die hard labour has said to vote for the Tories. That may well just swing it.

I sort of want Labour to get battered now just to see the #YouthQuake movement cry and start with outlandish conspiracy theories.

... but on balance, a hung parliament with Corbyn gone would be the better outcome.

A lot of people do listen to the Jewish Pope and the fella from Amstrad, you're right.
