This isn't politics, it's democracy in action.

So...have you voted yet? Got up early today and posted my slip, only the first time I have (actually, second time as I did vote in the council elections a couple of years back at uni).

Are you voting today?

Voted on the way into work. If you don't vote you've no right to complain about the sh*t you're dealt.

Singularly unimpressed with the lack of canvassing in the run up to, and including, today. Apart form the BNP, but those w*nkers don't count.

Aye agreed. We've had 6 pathetic flyers through the door between 3 of us. I shall be popping in on my way to the train station. Think it'll have to be Labour, mainly coz no-one else even vaguely left-y has posted anything through the door, or knocked, or even indicated they might be involved, and also to stop the mentalists getting in, which is a real worry given the amount of splintered voting.

I'm going to mark my X later, having had tons of leaflets through the door but no door-knockers. Maybe they're too scared after recent weeks about being beaten senseless by the people who pay for the gravy trains.

Hovering between Lib Dem and Green as per usual...

Bit crap these euro elections. Ive got a choice of 12 parties and not one of them's even remotely amusing.

I will turn up at the polling booth and will submit a ballot. Just so Enfield can't deny me my right to complain.

Ballot might not vote for any of them though...

Hmmm

I was listening to a Libertas guy being interviewed ont' radio last week. In principle it sounds superb. Could it work or is it too idealist?

Voted by post a couple of days ago. Still registered in the north-west, so will be taking an interest in what's going on down there.

I now officially have my democratic right to complain. Only me in the polling station.

Went to my polling station before, first time voter; apparently it's been pretty hectic all day.

Was hovering between Lib Dem and Green; went for the latter in the end due to these expenses scandals, and the Greens had some decent policies. Any vote to stop the BNP will do though.

Only had a choice between Labour, Conservative and UKIP for the locals. With Labour in the state it is, meant a spoilt paper was the only option for me there.

I didn't realise until today that Bob Crow was a candidate on the NO2EU ticket...

All the more reason for folks to use their vote then, Verbal. To keep both the BNP and that absolute 4uckwit out.
