Anyone Like Me?
Have no idea which diabolical figure they will be voting for tomorrow?

I have voted in every General Election for the past sixty years and not once has my vote counted because of our first past the post system. Until we get proportional representati on it seems I shall miss out - unless I move house ...... or party!

//Can anyone explain how Diane Abbott got re-elected with a 27k lead over the Con candidate? //
Ever been to Hackney and Stoke Newington? She's held the seat for years. Ethnic minorities in London now outnumber indigenous whites and the traditional political home for immigrants has always been Labour. Having said that our Jewish population appears to have abandoned the tradition. The result there is no surprise whatsoever.

"How did voting Green work out for you."
Very well actually. I voted for the MP that represented me without wasting my vote on some labour MP that doesn't care for my ideologies just to try and topple a tory government.
I slept very peacefully.
Imagine not only wasting your vote for a party you don't want to elect, but in doing so also failing to topple the Tory government. It would be quite irritating don't you think?
I spoke up for my best MP and my voice I'm sure was counted. It's a shame others didn't, now we have no idea how many people actually want a green government.
All Labour have done is take opportunity away from other, better parties.
I don't flip flop. I talk about all parties benefits and cons. Not one party is a shining example. They all have their pros and cons and to think otherwise would be naive.

Well I think your theory about more young people now eligible to vote and the oldies have died since the Brexit referendum has clearly been kicked into touch. Those who wanted a second referendum or people's vote got their answer last night. That resounding landslide victory was just as much a vote for Brexit as the distaste for Corbyn and his Trot politics. If the youngsters, who are now able to vote, wanted a second referendum they didn't show it last night. :-)
