I always wish there was a decent live feed similar to transfer deadline day that I could follow on polling day. Due to impartiality guidelines the BBC feed is effectively, "Polling day today, some people have taken their dogs with them, here are some pictures of dogs". Do it all electronically so I can watch Jeremy Vine tally up the votes in real time on a massive CGI version of the Shard.

I'm predicting Conservative Majority.

Perhaps a slightly smaller one than they have at the moment. Never before pretty much the entire media been on the side of one party or used such extreme tactics to attempt to sway the public. On the other hand if they don't win, or only scrape by then it shows that the public are less influenced by the media than I thought. (Perhaps a repeat of the Trump election in which the voter base seemed to dislike being told what to do & rebelled).

There's no issue with discussions during polling times we just can't run a poll, there will be loads here who will want to rant & rave all day long I'd imagine ;)
then Let the rants rant and the raves rave!

My utter apathy towards this election has not only driven me to potentially spoiling my paper but I could not even be bothered to get out of bed to be at the polling station just after 7am. I'll meander to the polling station at lunch.

First time I've been undecided about voting, was tempted to spoil my ballot since they're almost all as bad as each other, but figured it was better to at least make an effort for the lesser of 2 evils, so ended up voting tactically. Feel a bit dirty for not voting for who I actually wanted however :/
