    It's voting day. Get out and vote. I'm not getting my hopes up but it would be brilliant to start the weekend with the Tories out on their *. :41:

    Won't be voting. SNP don't have a candidate in Blyth, Northumberland.

    Then vote Labour.

    Even if you don't agree with everything that Labour stand for, for this GE, and this one only, really need to stop Bozo and the Tories. There is nothing wrong with tactical voting on this occasion, but not voting will be akin to supporting the Tories and their Brexit agenda. At least with Labour, even if it results in another hung parliament, at the very least it will mean that there will have to be another referendum down the line, either to accept the Brexit deal with the EU or vote to remain. The Tories are committed to Brexit, come * or high water, and will not offer such a referendum, which means that they could potentially force through a no-deal Brexit without any further say in the matter from the public.

    If it is more likes a Lib Dem can win the constituency you are in, then vote Lib Dem, but most places it is Labour that have the best chance of defeating the Conservatives, so if it is Labour where you are, then vote Labour.

    Likewise, those in Scotland, even if you don't agree with the entire SNP platform, still vote SNP as they are committed to remain and preventing Bozo's agenda for Brexit.

    The Tories have to be stopped from getting a working majority, if remain or at the very least having a say in whether or not a Brexit deal is accepted is in any way important to you. This is the last chance to do something about it. If Bozo gets a working majority in the house we are all *, and that is the bottom line.

    Please don't think your vote is not important, because it is. It's absolutely crucial!

    And tell your friends as well. Even if you have to drag them to the polling station. Don;t think voting Green etc is going to be cool or whatever, because of the first past the post system we have in the UK, the need for tactical voting is essential. So vote for the party in your constituency that has the best shot of beating the Conservatives; that's all there is to it.

    They don't have a candidate down here either, but I'm still going out to vote. Sadly though, my constituency is a Tory safe seat.

    My daughter has caused a riot with my Ma and Sister, they are going to Edinburgh for a day out and hotel stay. But she’s adamant that they are leaving later so she can go and vote, I’ve taught her well. :84:

    BBC caught trying to manipulate the vote and in so doing breaking every rule in the book.

    Hope the wee Witch gets the jail, can't see it though?

    Its imperative to vote ! the only party to benefit from not voting is the tories ! they already know you wouldn't vote for them so a non vote is just as good .

    Given the outcome of the independence referendum and Brexit, I'm a bit disillusioned by it all.

    And ultimately, I think government is just another business tied up in corporate interests regardless of the colour of tie they wear. We need structural change and economic reform to actually create a sustainable system and tackle the inequality that's polluting our society.

    Anyway, I'll either vote Green or go down a tactical route and vote SNP.

    Important to me that Labour get in with all the * concerns the border here.

    Please * let them do it, have no idea how anyone with a conscience could vote in these tory mutants.

    Looks like the turnout will be massive.
    Some of the safe labour London boroughs are reporting 30-45min queues 1st thing this morning.
    Maybe people are coming to realise the damage Brexit will do.
