Although I can't vote, I'll be with you all in spirit..... I must say that given the options there is going to be a lot of soul searching to decide who to vote for, unenviable!!!
 
Cheers lol.
I'll be there 8 o clock casting my vote.
 
Voted a couple of days ago, putting postal vote envelope into postbox. Cat wanted to come with me, as she's seen photos of dogs at poling stations, but I told her I was dropping it off on my way to work, so she had to stay at home.
 
Not a difficult decision for me, but I suspect I may be feeling despondent tomorrow... 🙄 Forgot my reading glasses, so hope I checked the right box! 😱 😉
 
I voted about a week ago, like @Northerner it wasn't a difficult decision for me either. I suspect I may be feeling despondent soon too.
 
Was quite fuunny really the only topic on everyones tongue out and about was the vote, went into Sainsburys and the lady gave me a high 5 when i told her how i had voted LOL
 
Wasn't a difficult decision for me. I've voted for the same party since I was able to. Shhhh...1979! Yikes! I'll let you into a secret, the government is gonna get in! 😉

Shh, I turned 18 in January 1974, and got to vote twice in my first year, February and October.
Had a shock when I went to the polling station today, instead of the trusty battered black metal ballot boxes I've been used to since 1974, there were brand new black plastic ones, sealed with cable ties. ( They reminded me of dustbins, very symbolic!)
 
I won't be despondent should the party I voted for, not get in, since this will be DESPITE my vote. whereas if you duck your responsibility to cast a vote, then it easily could be your fault they didn't!
 
I cast my vote this evening, doubt there will be a change to the Tory safe seat in my constituency :(
 
I voted quite early. I'm past caring, to be honest. The only thing that amuses as me is that Mrs May appears to have rather blown the plot - snap election, get a huge majority, and steamroller her ideals all over the disabled, old, the NHS, and those needing social care. It'll be fun if it turns out there's a hung parliament- the Tories will have to cosy up the DUP to get their policies through. Or we might get a coalition of chaos- labour, SNP, Libdem, green. Whatever, Mrs May for sure has lost her mandate. You can't govern a country on hubris.
 
Well, the results are coming in fast & it's looking good for Labour..... Mind you the same went for the US elections last year yet I still went to bed mad as hell thinking "how could the American voters be so stupid!!!!"
 
Next few hours, days, weeks, months and years are going to be interesting. Result not how the person who called election expected, following from result of referendum not being how person who called that expected either.
 
Oh, you guys are so screwed... Looks like the Monster Raving Loony Party is not going to be able to form a government😱
 
We voted last week...there's organised!😛

Watching the Spanish news this morning, I was thinking " What on EARTH must the Spanish think of us?!" LOL. 😛 At every single results celebration there was a person on the stage, in the background, dressed up as a chunk of cheese:confused:, Darth Vader😉, a clowno_O Hahaha...!:D😛:D
