    I see Harriet Harman's put her tuppenceworth in already, pre empting a strike! Why did people wait until the very last minute to go to the polling station? do you think they were apathetic, then down the pub they all egged each other on to go do it? Nutters, they've had 15 hours to go.

    Some of them were queuing for a while though to be fair and then doors were locked bfore they got in. Somewhere else ran out of ballot papers. :cool::cool:

    Bonkers! If they'd let them in the building they could have voted, did none of them read the rules before they got the job in the polling station? Does the presiding officer not know what they are doing in that constituency, they must have seen the queues building for a wee while?

    Much ado about nothing, but it's early days yet. Lord Mandelson seems to think the LDs will do well. He's a man in the know! ;)
