UK General Elections 2010

I voted! :D (twice, in fact)

Whyyyyyyy can't under 18s vote, it's ridiculous. Of course older people aren't going to vote for things like scrapping uni tuition fees; it doesn't affect them! Someone who's 17 is way more likely to care about the environment than someone who's 70!

Plus, it's just plain hypocritical. A 16-year-old can work and pay taxes, or join the armed forces, but can't have a voice to say which government they're serving!
My best friend's brother is severely mentally disabled; he's nineteen years old, but mentally about five, but is eligible to vote. If he doesn't have to prove a level of reasoning (nor should he), 16-year olds (or 12-year-olds or, well, anyone) shouldn't have to, either.
 
/late
I know someone who was 2 DAYS out from voting :B and another person whose 18th was today lmao

also I voted twice too
yay for council elections?
 
tailsy's birthday is the day before mine - that's how i remember her age cos i know she's three years younger

also i'm voting in a month
 
I like how the South West's doing - the Conservatives were beaten by Labour in Exeter and the Lib Dems in Torbay. I want to know how Newton Abbot/Teignbridge/whatever the hell my constituency's called now went!
 
Labour hold Stirling - where I live, which is lovely :> 71% turnout, too!
 
Yeah; even though the results aren't really what I'd like, the turnout in most areas is absolutely fantastic.
 
Some of the results are completely random, but the Tories are still winning far too many seats. Nice to see Huhne and Kahn keep their seats. Too bad for Lembit.
 
!!! I am very disappointed in Wales. >:( Our system is fucking outrageous and I hope Brown is able to form a coallition government with the Lib Dems so that we can go some way to fixing it.

I want to see what's happening in Neath and Aberavon, although I assume they're going to be Labour.
 
Scotland is like !!!!! LABOUR IS STILL HERE WTF

Guys, it's because everyone is like 8( I don't want the Tories to win yeep *labour*
 
^ I raged

we're still labour here
Scotland is cool beans :( and so is the South West
 
Whaaaah. I was frantically refreshing Twitter, which claimed that the Lib Dems won in Newton Abbot, and then moments later, the BBC flashes up a giant CORRECTION and says that the Tories won it by 500 bloody votes.

I'm absolutely gutted. ;~;

Totnes (which is generally hippyish and fantastic) held onto its Tory seat, too ):
