Latest post of the previous page:

It's too late now to vote in this poll, but you have until 10-pm tonight to vote in the real one.

Here is the result of the first 'Opinion Poll' posted on here in March for comparison with the one above. Make of it what you will!

I can only say that I am happy to be 1,500 miles away at the moment and won't get to see the blanket coverage.

I only hope all the haggling is finished when I get home.

Does it EVER finish, Morty?

And the Labour Party are STILL shoving bumph through my door at 2-35pm on Polling day!

[morty1753]

I did not think that was allowed. I thought they had to stop campaigning as soon as the poll stations opened.

Of course, I may be wrong, or bumph through the door may not count as campaigning.

I don't know about that, Morty. I remember years ago when I was a child they used to call on people on the day and if you hadn't voted they offered to take you to the polling station. I would have thought that could be classed a bribery and corruption - of course you didn't have to vote for the party whose representative took you, I suppose.

Nigel Farage did not win Thanet South.

[Trigger]

Nigel Farage did not win Thanet South.

Didn't he say something along the lines that if he didn't succeed with that . . . he'd give up? Or was it just wishful thinking? Let's not forget that those sort "speak with forked tongues"!

All three 'major' opposition leaders have now resigned (as party leaders) - Miliband, Clegg & Farage, although the latter will still continue as an MEP.

I suppose once all the hullabaloo of the Election has subsided all we'll get on the news then for weeks on end is the selections for the three new leaders of those parties.
