Election 2019 - Hide in a fridge to win - The Bear and Badger

Facewon

Godspeed my friends. Fuck a Tory.

Kazuo

Sky sounded like they had a very good night of coverage planned, in case anyone's casting about. I'm blissfully tuning out from it all, but I'd give that or Channel 4 a spin over the beeb tonight.

Facewon

High five.

An utterly cringey ballot battle between Newcastle and Sunderland breaks out to see who's first. Twats tear arsing about with boxes of ballot papers. Awful stuff all round.

How many hours until useful amount of counting is done?

No counting will be done until midnight earliest, probably 2am to get a picture. Exit poll at 10.01

Yeah I will be watching Channel 4.
I can't hack watching "Laura" brown nosing the Tories all night.

Yeah but there is always the chance someone will fall over on live TV so it's worth it.

The daft mackem cunts voted for Leave despite Nissan, one of the biggest employers in that shithole of an area, saying that they should vote Remain if they fancy keeping their jobs.

Imagine rushing about like a tit only to draw extra attention to how much of a fucking idiot you are.

Mrs Prime has been working in our local polling station all day, she sad the turnout had been big.

Paul the sparky

Then the fucking government bailed them out. Spending money on helping idiots who can't help themselves. There shouldn't have been any exceptions, they made their bed and shat it, time to tuck them in.

LivDiv

Yeah that was a massive own goal.
My brother worked for Nissan at the time, down here in their development centre.

The bosses were not pleased.

HawBawJaws

Voting done.

Fuck the tories.

*message ends*

Watching the news this evening feels strange. It is all other country's stupidity rather than our own.

I'm still fucking fuming. Wor lass was made redundant when Koty pulled out of the UK. She got a decent lumper and was lucky enough to get a better paid job with Mayborn Group, which she loves, but the poor fuckers on the factory floor wouldn't have been so lucky.

Why should these broken brained cunts be looked after when they voted to fuck themselves? Why should others be fucked over when they voted sensibly? Fucking Tories man.

I dunno. They’ve been calling it ‘The Brexit Election’ which to my mind is kowtowing to the Tory “let’s get it done” bollocks. This is about more than that one issue.

I’ll be watching Channel 4. I’m planning to stay up all night.

Boss at work has never voted in his life. He’s nearly 40, worked in education his whole career. Dickhead.

I know I'll get flak for this, but I've never fully bought the whole "you must vote" thing (Although I've voted in every possible election myself)

I think there is a fair comment that if you feel all options are worthless, what is the point. Choosing between a kick in the balls or a punch on the nose isn't much of an option. It's not practical I suppose but I always like the idea of making voting mandatory but there should be an option for none of the above. A way for the electorate to say "actually, you are all a bit shit"

Newcastle only pulled through by 0.7%, and given its big city demographic that's a bit glass houses. Hopefully it'll up its game this time around.

Paul the sparky

Are you sober this time?

Fancy answering this?

Enlighten us.

Or are you just pissed up trolling again?

You can do this, you can spoil the ballot, all the spoilt ballots are counted. If everyone who didn't vote because they felt they had no representation (which I don't believe between Tory Cunts, Lib Dem wannabe cunts, Labour, Greens, Brexit Cunts, SNP, Plaid, monster raving looney, lord buckethead, and independents there will be someone who represents some of what you want at the very least) then there would be a sizable chunk of the electorate visible to parties as being people who think they are without representation.

Spoiled ballots are a waste of time imo.

LivDiv

Looking at the state of Algeria on the news this evening it is so depressing that here people think they dont have an option.

Well done you. Excellent behaviour yet again.

Yeah but imagine if 50% were spoiled.

mistercrayon

Then the rules would still make the person who got the most votes the winner.

And remember: new era democracy does not need anything like a mandate to be extremely horrific (see trump)

Diluted Dante

I simply don't believe that for the vast majority of people there isn't an option at a General Election that will represent them.

It might not be someone who will win, but it also might well be if all the non voters voted.

mistercrayon

What are you guys doing right now?

My stomach is in knots!

It's not about what represents people, it's about thinking there might be a better way entirely. That could be that none of the parties are quite racist enough, it could also be that all the parties put economic prosperity above all else.It could be that none of the leaders are cats. Who knows? I quite like spoiled papers though. I wonder if putting a drawing of a penis in just one box would count as a vote or not?

I'll take that as a no then. How embarrassing.

I was truly hoping you were going to enlighten us all on what we can do to solve the biggest crisis currently facing the human race, but no, you're just offloading your guilt onto the parents of the forum. People who have enough shit on their plates already without you lumping the weight of the world on their shoulders, letting them worry about something beyond their influence. It's that old quote, innit?

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

It's odd, because I can see the parallels in a frustrated, angry, low income, low prospect, poorly educated member of the working class chucking in a protest vote for Leave etc. and a sour old sozzled cunt like yourself throwing guilt and snark about to make yourself feel better about your shitty situation.

I've got more sympathy for them though. You should know better.

Nothing wrong with that. I mean, why should anyone go through such lengths, to determine how other people should live?

It's all hubris, innit?

Howdy, Stranger!
