The story behind how I came to acquire this remain sticker

I went early to the polling station and there was a queue of workers. Not having a proper job, I felt guilty for adding to the queue and perhaps making them late for work. Indeed, I even considered going away and coming back again, but held firm to soak up the atmosphere. On my way out I saw someone I knew in the queue and we joked about doing our civic duty. Of course I wondered how he would be voting, and wondered how I would go about finding out without hanging around outside the polling station waiting to accost him as he came out. I decided to go to Tesco to see what cheapo items they had at this time of day. On the way there were men offering these stickers to me. I cheerfully declined and went on my way to Tesco. On my way back I decided to take one of these stickers then carried on my way home. To my delight, there was this local I knew chatting to another man in a rather conspiratorial way near the polling station. I went up to him and offered him my sticker jokingly, but he declined so we knew that we had both voted the way we would have wanted. "So, you were just winding them up!" he said. "Yes," I said conspiratorially, "They are so desperate they have resorted to getting the remainers to serve as propaganda vehicles for them." The chap he was talking to was also a leaver, so we three were very pleased with each other indeed. My best voting experience!

Shouldn't you be aspiring to live in a sovereign state rather than praying that Britain remains a vassal state? Where is your pride? #EUref

Why should politicians who vote to invade another country be surprised at a violent reaction?

lists all the MPs who voted to invade Iraq.

is where the list of MPs who voted to invade Iraq was said to be found, along with instructions on how to meet your MP at surgery and where to buy knives, presumably to facilitate the stabbing thereof.  But I couldn't find it. 

At least Ms Choudhry exhibited thought processes that followed a certain logic: you hate the war, so you punish the people who started the violence in the only way they can understand: with violence in return.

MPs who have so far not been stabbed and do not wish to be stabbed by their Muslim constituents for the disastrous, disgraceful,  unwinnable and unpopular war that they voted for could always publicly recant, express their deep remorse, and perhaps explain the circumstances under which they came to make their regrettable decision.

Perhaps they had their arms twisted by their party whips?

You should write to and demand that your MP support Peter Bone's House of Commons Disqualification Act.  If they do not you will know what to think of them and withhold your vote accordingly at the next election.

I am thinking of commissioning a poll with YouGov on the following lines:

1. Do you think the quality of democracy in this country could be improved? 
2. Do you think the reason why politicians are so cowardly and hypocritical is because they are frightened of being demoted by their leader? 
3. Do you think the reason why they are so unpopular is because they are perceived as cowardly and hypocritical? 
4. Would you be prepared to assist them in becoming less cowardly and hypocritical by sending a letter to your MP demanding that he help himself and his constituents by supporting Peter Bone's Bill?  (This Bill proposes to abolish the position of the party whip.)
5.  Do you know what a whip does to an MP when he is required to make him vote against his principles and conscience and vote as his or her leader demands?  
6. Do you know that the tactics involved in making this recalcitrant MP vote as the leader would wish amounts to blackmail and threats? 
7. Do you think an MP who is vulnerable to threats and blackmail is in a position to serve your interests and the nation's? 
8. Do you think an MP free from threats and blackmail would be in a better position to serve your interests and the nation's? 
9. Did you approve of the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan? 
10. Were you aware that the whips were used to blackmail or threaten to make MPs vote as the leader of their party wished and against their better judgment? 
11. Do you think your MP should support Peter Bone's House of Commons Disqualification Bill?

General Election 2010: May 6 - Polling Day

It is already election day. I trust you will all go forth and vote wisely, knowing that things will get worse before they get better ...

"Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better."

I have done it now. Voted UKIP for the parliamentary and LibDem for the local. Met the dentist too wearing his cycle helmet. Like a railway station, it was, my polling station.

Bent my newsagents ear about not voting Tory too. If you like Lefty Pinkos, vote for The Real Thing ie Labour or LibDem. Don't vote for a Tory in PC drag.

If you vote Labour we might even get Mandy, which would be luver-lee!

Help the Tories by making them have a leadership election sooner rather than later. This means you have to be cruel to be kind. Therefore today, vote ANYTHING BUT TORY. This is so next time they can elect a leader who is actually a Conservative. (I want it on record that I offer my unwanted advice to ALL the parties.)
