Poll: *** 2010 General Election Result & Discussion ***

[Five_Star]

How on Earth do they run out of ballot papers?!
This is a bloody farce.

I can't beleive this one, we're no better at this than most African states

 

[Von Smallhausen]

Election chaos, queues, no ballot papers, polls closed .........

This has Lord Mandelson's fingerprints all over it.

 

[Ahleckz]

Is Nick Griffin going to leave his Europe seat if he wins in the General Election?

Election chaos, queues, no ballot papers, polls closed .........

This has Lord Mandelson's fingerprints all over it.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you pesky kids!

The returning officer, Robert Mugabe, says everything is fine

 

[meghatronic]

The pound strengthened sharply after the first constituency result suggested the Conservatives may have secured a large enough swing for an overall majority.

 

[ZG002]

Because Mackams are special (needs)

Christ if you are going to call us special needs at least get the slang name right.

It's Mackem

I'm off... Conservatives will get this imo.

Night all

Does he have to? Can anyone confirm the position? Logically, how could he fill both roles at once, I just don't see how that could work.

 

[Coolasmoo]

To be honest, if you are stupid enough to not vote in the time frame that you were given, then so be it! DUMB ARSE!

And they could have done it by post BUMB ASSES

 

[Booner!]

Thing is, you can complain about the places being open 15 hours. What if they work shift work and get down there to vote and either the polling station runs out of ballot papers (HAS happened) or get stuck in a queue. Hardly fair.

Also, there is a scandal of polling stations being open for 10-15 minutes longer? How is this fair on other people turned away?!?

People turn up to vote on their democratic rights and are turned away. I feel this is unfair in these circumstances.

 

[rojones]

It depends how long they've been there really. Are you saying that even though the voting hours are 7-10, anybody who doesn't vote in the first 14 hours doesn't deserve a vote? I don't agree with you.

Say an average working shift is 7 - 8 hrs. You have plenty of time to either get there early and vote if you work later hours or get there later in the day if you work early.

I work 9 - 5. I got down to polling station by 7pm give me 3hrs to make my vote.

I doubt very much that elderly woman moaning on the TV works a crazy shift that she cant get down there 2 or 3 hours before the closing time.

Just people being lazy gits. This country is full of them. Personal opinion screw them.

Go Paxman, good questions, poor answers

LOL.

 

[Creature]

Hearing Tessa Jowell say 'stradling' just sent a shiver down my spine.

 

[leaskovski]

lol "through no fault of not turning up earlier enough in the fricking day"!!!

Its your own fault retards! You had times on when you should vote!!!

Sorry, I haven't lived in the North East for 20 years, I've forgotten the finer detail of the irrational regional disputes

 

[NickK]
