UK General Election 2015

[Claw75]

Think my plan is going to be watching The Last Leg on - switching to bbc for the exit poll results, then trying to get some shut eye and setting an alarm for 3ish to tune back in - not managed an all-nighter since 97!

Just heading out for work and a group of labour people were knocking on doors left and right of me obviously making sure people actually go and vote. Skipped me again, wonder if they know I'm a no hoper for them? never spoken to any of them so how could they know? 

They will only be knocking on the doors of known Labour supporters - sounds like you're surrounded!

yup, it's 'getting the vote out'

Final ElectionDay forecasts agree near as much as polls—none now say DC will be able to govern

I was quite surprised that my main candidate to vote for doesn't live in my town.  Not only that but the other major party leader doesn't either - he doesn't even live in the county. I guess it doesn't matter but it does make me feel a little unsure.
Scrub that, the counsellors do live in the town and I suppose they report up to the MP.  I probably should have figured out how it works before today!

Tory— 293
Lab— 280
SNP— 50
LD— 13
DUP— 5
SDLP— 2
Ukp— 2

Just got back home, they are like flies around here, in teams of 2 or 3's every few streets with clipboards chasing people up. Not a Tory to be seen, this is a marginal seat so I hope this isn't the difference, if it is the local Tory candidate only has herself to blame.

Genuine question - has anyone actually changed how they have/plan to vote as a direct result of something someone has said in this thread?

No need to say who you voted for or what the post was, just fascinated what influences people's voting decisions.
