May 2015 UK General Election Campaign.

[Legbiter]

So what chinless wonder will Labour pick to lose the 2020 elections? 

[derspiess]

They need to bring back that rotund dude who looked like Burgermeister Meisterburger.

[Barrister]

No matter that he lost his seat - they need to make Ed Balls the leader.   

Yes, that's just because I like the name Ed Balls.

Stats on general election voter turnout from 1945 to 2015. Given that this year seemed to attract more public interest than recent elections, I was expecting it to be higher. Turns out that was only in Scotland. http://www.ukpolitical.info/Turnout45.htm

So basically, Tony Blair killed people's incentive to vote?

Why vote when the governing party is 'the political wing of the British people'?

Well what is our excuse?

[Monoriu]

My thoughts exactly

I don't know if agreeing with the Daily Mail is a good thing Mono.

Why kill the right message just because of the messanger?

Hong Kong's voter turnout of elections at legislature level is around 50%.  That's considered high.  Note that a lot of people like me aren't registered voters, and we are excluded from these statistics.

So Labour drinks Moët Chandon, Tories drink Bollinger. I will sadly have to side with the Tories here.

Tesco £4.99 Austerity Cava for me.

At least, Tories and Labour know what champagne is, unlike some poster here.

[The Larch]

So how long until the new Tory government starts acting up on its anti EU rhetoric? My friends are already up in arms in FB over the decission to scrap the Human Rights Act.

Damn right. Most English fizz is better than Moet, although I've not had any at the Bollinger NV price range.
