Apparently some polling stations stayed open after 10pm, while some believed it to be illegal not to shut the doors at 10.
Never heard of anything like this happening before.
Talking about legal challenges... the postal vote's a huge mess - bogus i/d's registering. Another legal challenge possible! Why was it allowed for anyone able-bodied who could get to a polling station? Surely, it was purely about vested interests.
My dad has always, in recent years, voted by postal vote: working over 100 miles from home when in this country...like wise dh....can' say till the day where he'll be. A client in Russia, for example wants you there NOW not carin about our vote. People short term posted aborad, business meetings, trade fairs...ill. or pregant, or n holiday. So many reasons to not vote in person.0 -

I looked at getting a postal vote when it looked like I might get stuck overseas. However the window of opportunity was very small, I'd have had to register after I'd left so couldn't get one. I'm sad that so many in the forces may not get their votes counted because the timescales were so short they could not guarantee getting their votes back in time from the battlefronts.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Anybody here who's wiser than me (OK, that's just about everyone) capable of interpreting the 10% swing to the Conservatives in the Labour stronghold of Washington????? Replicate that everywhere else and there'd be no hung Parliament. . .0

Sky News: have checked election rules, if you have the ballot paper in your hand you can vote even if it hasn't got in the box yet, if you've not got the paper, no matter how long you've been in line: tough.
Manchester, Hull, Hackney also reporting problems with people being turned away.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

OK....a stupid question.....tonight can be my election education night.
What's with the boundary changes and why?
I do know that our area in SE London was Tory then a boundary change....after it was always Labour.
How can they guess results if boundaries have been changed since last time?
Confused on this...and who decides?vivatifosi wrote: »Hi fc, it is decided by the Boundary Commission and is based on the number of people in an area.
I think it's because of the inequality of numbers of voters in each area. Didn't Tories get more votes last time but win fewer seats than Labour. There's an inequity that should be addressed.
Maybe this is why Clegg insinuated that, in the event of a hung parliament, he would not want to support a party (Labour) who received fewer votes than the Conservatives, but who could nevertheless win more seats.0 -

Hardest ones to get. Got to be on trend but appropriate for my age, some height but good for walking distance in London and on feet all day (I can't really walk in heels...I just trot) and, if I work concession for a few hours (once evry 3 weeks or so), a wedge as the stock rooms don't have floors....they are caged (like a battery chicken shed)....oh and you are only allowed a small peep toe due to H+S.
I saw a perfect pair the other day but can't remember which shop...doh..
