UKIP got mine, but I'm in an region with a safe Tory seat.

I went into the polling station intending to vote Labour (this morning I was planning on voting LD) and I came out voting none of the above. I couldn't vote for any of them with a clear conscience.

I voted labour. His previously safe seat became more precarious last time so every vote counts.

Lib Dem, and no it won't affect the result.

For polling stations lovers, I give you 'the top 10 strangest polling stations across the UK':

It can only be a safe seat if all the people who used to vote continue to vote, so it's not wasted! Only feels wasted when you want to vote for a minority party in a safe seat.

I voted conservative in a safe conservative seat, so it probably didn't count.

50ShadesofNope · 07/05/2015 17:01

Lib Dems - It won't count because I'm in a very safe Labour seat.

I'd have voted Labour but I can't bring myself to vote for an MP that voted against the Marriage (Same Sex Couples Act) and is openly against abortion. That isn't someone that represents me.

Haven't voted yet, going after work but I'm voting for local Conservative MP as he was hugely helpful to my family last year.

National ballot I am spoiling so no, it won't count

I voted SNP, previous safe seat but predicted to go to the SNP this time.

silveroldie2 · 07/05/2015 15:37

I voted Conservatives in a safe seat to keep my current MP's percentage topped up.

I love Polling Stations.

Me too! I was really hoping to be first at mine this morning but three other keen beans beat me to it.

Voted lib dem but it is a very safe labour seat here.

Hmmm - is that the one where he says mothers returning to work should expect to be paid less than their male co-workers?

Your choice depresses me too. Especially after reading an article about UKIP/Farage's attitude to women...

Pancakeflipper · 07/05/2015 14:42

Oh boy, I stupidly honestly thought people wouldn't actually vote for UKIP.

There's 2 parties battling it out here. The 2 main contenders are currently stomping the pavements in the area to get us to vote as every vote does count.

I have not yet voted, doing that this evening. I love Polling Stations.

1.Your choice depresses me. 2. I hope not.

Sorry OP. Claig will be impressed with your choice though.
