Still can't make up my mind between Labour and Lib Dem. Well, I'll make up my mind as I walk down the Finchley Road.

Just voted - I let my 3 year old choose - I told him "Any box except that one" (pointing at the Tories). Only had a choice of the 4 main parties here.

My point was I found it highly amusing that they were predicted to get so many seats north of the border.

That wasn't seats, that was percentage of the vote!

Facebook, too; there's an app that comes up by default to let you say you've voted. Nearly half a million facebook users have, so far.

Not much of a turnout on the Finchley Road, but it was early.

You do know photography inside the polling station is illegal and can have you banged up for 75 years in The Tower?

Only click this link IF you have a strong stomach.......
This is from the Sun (wot won it) website....

I don't know where to start, I don't know if I should laugh at them for it, cry because someone, some place thinks that might actually inspire something, I just don't know. It's not even that it's him, it is the whole idea......wow....probably the single most sycophantic thing I have ever seen.
I think if I were Tory HQ I would ask them to take that down, it has worship/cult overtones that even they might find over the top.

Well The Sun is in a bit of a tricky position this year. Previously they have been able to back the probable winner near the election then claim they were instrumental in the victory.
But this time they clearly can't do that because they both aren't sure who'll win and it'll probably be a hung parliament anyway so they can't make their usual ridiculous claims of being pivotal to the election.
So instead they have decided to go with... just plain idiotic.
I think they have been caught between going one of two ways and come up with one of their most feeble covers for an important event ever.
(Of course one might just as well criticise The Beano for having a pointless cover but still the Beano doesn't take itself as unbelievably important like the Sun does)

I doubt that will be necessary; generally you are just told to delete the photo and not to do it again.

I called into my local polling station about lunchtime, and they said they'd had over 30% turnout already.
Vote early, vote often!
