AIBU to want other m'netters to be..........

[Tiredmumno1]

proud of me. i just voted (and no i didnt spoil my paper).

i just wanted to ask you knowledgable mumsnetter's about the ballot papers. Was it right that i just got one paper with local mp's names. Does the party i voted also count for a vote for the leadership of the country IYKWIM.

i think i just confused myself

yes thats right
well done for doing it

Hurrah! Good for you.

You vote for your local MP, then the party who wins the in the most constituencies wins overall (more or less!) so yes, your paper was ok!

Well done for voting!!

Well done Tiredmumo1

Yes it was right that you just got the one paper. You just voted for your local MP. If he/she gets the local seat then that seat goes towards the party that will lead the country.

There are 650 seats.

Phew, thanks for replying.

I was worried they forgot to give me another paper.

Thought they were gonna pinch my vote

Huh? I got two papers. A parliamentary one, and a local one. No wonder I was confused!!!

Now i am confused for lou

Well done tiredmummy

Eh, I got two bits of paper too

Some areas had local council elections too, that's why you two

I think some councils were also having an election.

We had two here. Ones for local elections the other was the general. To make it super easy for people like me they made one white and one yellow.

yes some local councils are having a local election too.

I had three and a hyperactive two year old to supervise

one extra for referendum on mayor

Still

I got a telephone call at 9:15pm form my local Labour councillor.

She asked me had I voted already, and if I hadn't, did I want a lift down to the polling station ?

Personal service! I wonder if she would have chucked me out of the car if I said I wasn't voting for her ?

Blimey !

And have been at getting a phonecall off a stranger at that time.

Good tactic tho

Well done to you to swiss and bossy boots aka anyfucker

and all you others, at least we got off our lazy butts eh

well done to you Tiredmumno1

I got a phone call too at 8pm asking if I'd voted and if not did I need assistance to get there!

When I said I'd voted they asked if it was for them and sounded very when I replied, "no" as they were apparantly counting on my vote as I was on their records as one of their supporters!!

I asked them to ammend their records!!

who did you all vote for?

(only if you want to say that is ).

Labour
