voteanythingbutBNPplease · 06/05/2010 17:05

Done - And have to admit I had a little "proud of my country" moment. seeing people going to vote, everybody being allowed to, no violence, intimidation, no worrying about being attacked etc...made me be very proud to live in a democracy. Even though I can't bear the thought of extremist parties getting any votes, I do love the fact that this is a safe country where everyone has a right to their views (however abhorrent they are).
Anyway, it is very rare for me to feel proud of stuff so I'll stop rambling now...

NomDePlume · 06/05/2010 17:02

yup, did it before school pick up at 3pm. Was planning to go before work this morning at 7.15 but ran out of time.

LouIsOnAHighwayToHell · 06/05/2010 16:59

Voted Lib/Dem for both local and general Election.

Was 4 other people in there, 2 more going in as I went out.

I had all 4 kids with me and we jumped in all the puddles on the way home.

I really want Labour OUT!

ChallengingCitrusHalibut · 06/05/2010 14:53

Done! Pretty quiet but will probably get a post-work rush. I've never seen a queue there, actually there was only one person voting today at the same time as DH and me.

Am in Edinburgh North and Leith btw and voted Lib Dem to get Labour oot.

serenity · 06/05/2010 14:39

I voted last week too, but I did drop DHs postal vote in the station this afternoon (because he forgot to post it )
