Voting. Crap, no idea where my card is, or which polling station I need to go to

 

[Brigantium]

Found the polling card. It was registered to the previous tenant. I'm not registered to vote.

 

[LooseCannon]

There's no way to register there?

 

[Brigantium]

'Fraid not. I registered a few months ago, but they mustn't have got my details in the post, so they've sent a card for the previous tenant. I could always have lied, of course.....

 

[LooseCannon]

That's ridiculous.

 

[Brigantium]

Oh, it's just administrative carp. I should really have checked I was on the electoral roll before they sent the polling cards out. I just saw the card and didn't take in the name. I could always change my name to Jonelle and lose 15 years, though.

 

[LooseCannon]

You don't seem like a Jonelle.

 

[Black Wizard]

Nobody cared who their MEP is anyway. Make sure you're registered for next May though.

 

[Brigantium]

I do care. We have/had a UKIP MEP who specialised in insulting anyone and everyone, and a BNP one, neither being good representatives of my region. As for the local authority elections, I know all the candidates and don't like any of them!

 

[Ariana]

Voted.

 

[Perun]

Voted.

 

[Black Wizard]

With or without feelings?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Was I meant to be voting today? Oh dear...

 

[Perun]

No, you were meant to be voting on Thursday.

 

[Perun]

German exit polls have conservatives in the majority and social democrats at 27.6%. No surprises anywhere, but still painful to read that the Nazis get 0.8% and thus a seat in the parliament.

 

[bearfan]

Today 1 seat .... next election .. probably 0 seats .. or something like that

 

[Perun]

Well, it's likely that they'll always have a seat. It's not a big deal, it's just not nice to read.

 

[bearfan]

I guess .. but I would not generally care what .8% of any population thinks

 

[Black Wizard]

0.8% of German voters are Sabaton fans.

 

[Brigantium]

We now have 3 UKIP MEPs in this region.
