i mean. i could have easily voted SNP and let alex spend 4 years fighting for a better scotland in MY benefit, but i wanted to make an objectively correct vote and that was impossible. so i made a bunch of excuses for not registering. too late to fret now though

anyway i want to say the deal's sealed for tories but i won't be surprised they won't get a majority. we're gonna see labour & SNP get in and that is the definition of an upset IMHO.

i think i should actually be glad if that happens. alex sammond should be looking out for my back, i guess.

i'm surprised SNP hasn't had a 100% turnout so far. there's one non-SNP that got labour

im sad the Greens won't be green on the pie


they'll be blank because no one will vote for them


Last election in NZ, the eligible voters who didn't vote or register were something like 20% of the total vote cast.

i.e., if they'd all voted, they could have elected any other party.

I find it funny as well that the Greens do in the UK, but they consistently get 10% here

I'm really not hoping for an upset, as entertaining as it may be.

Should've voted Plaid, Harry. Seems like they've surged.

I voted Labour. It was a difficult decision. I'm going to spare you all the details. Either way, I love that you guys voted Green.

this is a joke...all these people voting green :/ the country is beyond messed if they were running it. although it isn't in their manifesto, on their website they talk about "striving to achieve ‘sustainable population levels’", and they plan on doing this by preventing the poor from reproducing in order to stem overpopulation (google: green party overpopulation). they think economic growth should stop cause "poor people’s desire to live plusher, more comfortable lives is nothing more than greed." their new manifesto gloats that the party would spend nothing on improving roads or expanding airports. what’s more, it plans to continue to fight for bans on nuclear power and genetically modified crops. some of their new policies include shutting down all the zoos and banning alcohol on planes. not to mention, their taxes would hit the poorest worse than the Tories taxes did. their new policies say goods and services would be taxed according to how much damage the party deems these products do to the environment (if you aren't that well off, and your car emits a shitload of carbon, i feel sorry for you, not mentioning the carbon emissions planes give off so increased ticket prices). i've also heard they wanna tax exotic luxuries like coffee, bananas and chocolate. oh and, the Greens wanna raise the price of all alcohol by 50%. and here's the worst...the Greens live on the idea that humanity is a burden on the planet. that we should be humble to nature, not masters of it. people will always come second. good luck to the two constituencies that might be ruled by Greens lool

@Arc have you even seen some of their policies? The ridiculous five year ban on unskilled workers where if they watched the news once in a while, they'd learn opening up their hearts could save thousands of lives of those who travel to the UK risking everything on shabby boats over long distances. Their idea that the defecit can be eliminated by their third year in parliament is utterly ridiculous and inaccurate considering the cuts they plan to make, and the large investment into the NHS already planned by them. For some reason they deem it necessary to scrap primary school sex education, considering the current generation they need all the information they need. This is not even considering the consistent cases of discrimination and morally incorrect comments that come out of it's MP's, one of which including "Gay Marrige caused the new year floods", and that Nigel Farage draws his votes from being a 'regular guy' for smoking a and drinking a pint every once in a while, and his stand on leaving the EU providing very few benefits and many drawbacks for the UK. I'm just mystified as to how anyone can feel they are the most competent political party.
