if ppl are outside a polling station some waiting for hours to vote and then get turned away without being allowed to vote beggars belief

Snoopy: It was after Nick Griffin being pelted with an egg in the same area. I think the BNP wanted a fight. With the whistle being blown recently on them being a con I think they are a bit on edge.

Blimey.. in 1918 UK women could only vote if they were connected and over 30!! Full equality didn't happen till 1928.

(V): Wikipedia states..."""In the UK voter registration is not compulsory, but registration is actively encouraged by central and local government. Voters must be on the electoral roll in order to vote in national, local or European elections"""

But even so, there should be a "fine" for not voting, even if you are/not registered

Can you please show me where there is a £1000 fine. I can't find anything on that.

you should VOTE

Thema: Re:
Snoopy & Bernice: It's illegal not to registered here which dates back to WWI

... Yet the reason why has been forgotten and with possible election fraud from people taking them from 'bedsit' land blocks.. You couldn't enforce it without alot of resources.
... The level of vote is a good indicator of the snooze factor when politicians succeed to bore us to sleep, or feel they are all no good. You can't fine someone for having an opinion that politicians are crooks.

And the fine for not registering is £1000

Btw... BNP did ya here the news?? It seems expenses problems, infighting, lack of co-ordination.... a mess.

Bernice: Brown asked who's fault it was, the aide said Sue.. He then when questioned about it on Radio 2 then blamed the media for still recording.

He's tired, down and up against the wall. Better saying that then blaming others.

Snoopy: The deputy PM was on the BBC. She was asked if she had spoken to the PM over the incident before coming on the show... She said "no.. I've been campaigning"

... the reply was..."you've got a mobile phone haven't you?"

Bernice: At this time in the election, they'd all do it. Gordon especially so as he has been criticised quite heavily over his slowness to apologise in public before hand.

Interestingly, he spent more time with the lady then he did with the Queen to dissolve Parliament or Pres Obama and other major figures.

As John Smith would say "don't you think he looks tired?"

As one interviewer said.. "why when you've had the chance haven't you done it before?"

I ain't voting for him.
