Ticked? It is an X.

for now, but as the cross is potentially offensive to Muslims future London elections will require voters to draw a crescent in the box

Yes I meant an X. To be fair I wasn't the only one. Most people seemed to be leaving the booths with a look of puzzlement on their faces. They were either confused like me or in bewilderment at a political party being named the Cannabis is safer than Alcohol party.

Hmm ....voting ..... I liken it to being forced to pick a venerial disease to contract.......
no matter what choice you make it is not going to be good for you

Not really because you dont even get the fun of the shag first.

They might actually do better than Labour. I'll raise a glass to that.

Fingers crossed. Need a decent opposition for a change.

Actually the 'shag' comes after, not a thick comfortable carpet either, more the nylon will burn like hell and leave lots of angry marks kind of carpet.

If you say so hombre, as it's white people who constantly deem everything to be offensive to some group or another.

Legally, it's any mark that clearly indicates what you meant. The 'X' is the recommended clear mark.

[Eurofighter]

Voted Green.

 

[Hiijinx]

Didn't see another soul when I went in, even the people running it looked surprised to see me.

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

So Labour has lost 28 seats, UKIP somehow gained 20 odd.

Sums up the current state of things.

 

[Azza]

Do people really think that those UKIP people are going to help their local area or do they just not understand what this election is for?

 

[Cosimo]

First results of the London Assembly election will be this afternoon and the result of first preference votes for Mayor of London at 18:00.

Its mind boggling isn't it. If they want out of Europe there is another vote for that, what on earth does UKIP have to offer a council election?

You guys are missing the point.

I voted UKIP, and I'll keep voting UKIP every which way until things change.

 

[[TW]Fox]

What did you want to change on your local council that UKIP can do?
