...on the grounds that if we assume there will be a Tory govt, then the crowing triumphalism of all the Chinless Wonders and Thrusting Monetarists and Nasty Racists who'll poke in here to crow and gloat, will somehow force a cosmic rift in the time-space continuum. And it will be like 1992 all over again but the other way round.

I fear the best we can hope for is a hung parliament.

I've suggested hemlock for the Election Night supper thread...

I suggest "Valiant and proud lefties election night thread"

Laugs · 06/05/2010 15:07

Depressed valiant and proud lefty signing in. I was feeling all full of pre-election buzz yesterday but today just feel sick and aimless. I think it's Cameron on the front page of all the papers this morning, as if it's all over.

Beachcomber · 06/05/2010 15:11

Oh please can we call it that, will help me feel better over not having been able to think of a good election namechange.

(open to ideas for namechange BTW - needs to be Labour/Brown supporting)

LeninGrad Depends how many bottles you have

monkeysmama · 06/05/2010 15:14

I had a glass of red with lunch Leningrad. Seemed appropriate (& the Italian part of me allows me to )

Peckarolloveragain · 06/05/2010 15:18

i know this is terrble but ive lost my voting card, can i still go along to the polling station and vote [labour]?

Laugs · 06/05/2010 15:19

Yes you can still vote Peckaroll

elkiedee · 06/05/2010 15:20

Peck, I think you can even without your voting card. They look your name and address up on a list.

Molesworth · 06/05/2010 15:21

Take proof of ID with you though pecka!

Molesworth · 06/05/2010 15:27

While walking Ddog, I just harangued persuaded a floating voter not to vote tory

He hadn't heard about the Philippa Stroud thing. Think that's what made his mind up

foxytocin · 06/05/2010 15:35

signing in.

MarionCole · 06/05/2010 15:37

Valiant and proud lefties election night thread here

omnimandles · 06/05/2010 15:41

Do you live near me Molesworth? Will keep a look out for a dogwalking haranguing person on my way home from work/nursery pickup/after school pickup.

What do floating voters look like - I dont want to harangue people randomly.

Molesworth · 06/05/2010 15:43

I'm easy to spot - I'm the irate looking woman with a boston terrier

KeeptheRedFennelFlying · 06/05/2010 15:44

I need a thread title in between, I'm nowhere near as chirpy as yesterday, every new poll brings worse news, but stil not actually depressed.

What about Headsinsandleftiesstillhoping?

omnimandles · 06/05/2010 15:47

So now I'm haranguing voters that look floaty and irate looking women with small dogs.

motherinferior · 06/05/2010 16:42

It is very very wrong but understandable to snigger at the fact that UKIP candidates keep dropping like flies, isn?t it?

PinkFuschia · 06/05/2010 17:51

The first thing I said when I heard about Farage's accident was "is he dead?" in a hopeful voice. I am a BAD person

ZephirineDrouhin · 06/05/2010 19:33

motherinferior - very wrong yes. But UKIP's exploits are so exactly like an Ealing Comedy it is very understandable yes.

My dh got a personally addressed leaflet from the tory party - I didn't get one as obviously the man of the house tells the little lady who to vote for! Twats

BeenBeta · 06/05/2010 20:15

Just marking my place so I can come and laugh and point commiserate later.

nicnac73 · 06/05/2010 20:16
