Voted - 12.50pm

Local nursery. Only party campaigner there was a polite Green.

Voted - Patrick Grady (SNP, Glasgow North). In some circumstances I could have chose Patrick Harvie (Green), Labour's Pamela Duncan-Glancy is capable but my loathing of Scottish Labour, her tweets earlier this week re nationalists and, pettily, her having UK in her Twitter handle... nah. This constituency COULD be interesting. Crossing ma fingers last night's Survation Scotland poll was an outlier.

The vast majority of us on here will be doing the same.

Went up to the new community hub to vote at midday.

Took the boys as their school is a polling place and i need to WFH today to look after them. Wee man crossed the paper and the big wee man posted it.

Voted for John Nicolson of the SNP. Hopefully he can keep Jo Swinson out in East Dunbartonshire.

Hope they still count your vote!

Local town hall, steady stream of people considering it is pishing down with rain, couple of snp motors parked outside and a huddle of people at the entrance.

One vote for Stephen Gethins in north east fife, he done well to win it last time with a 4,000 majority so would be no surprise to me if it swung back to lib dems. But hopefully the tory voting farmers and the lib dems take votes off each other.

Having a romantic stroll in the rain with my girlfriend to Pilrig Church between 6 and 7pm.  Despite hours of reading I'm still undecided between SNP and Labour.

The correct answer is SNP. Happy to Help.

They've gone from odds of 1.50 to 1.66 for Edinburgh North and Leith, Tories are 3.0 and Labour are 5.0 so might have to vote SNP to be on the safe side. Labour feels like more of a middle ground from my previous Tory vote however.

Voted around 12:30 in a church for the smashing Kirsty Blackman. First time voting in the constituency having previously been Aberdeen South. I suspect Callum McCaig could have used my vote more than Kirsty unfortunately.

What were the reasons behind your Tory vote, and what's driven you to change?

Feel I probably should have stayed registered at my parents' to lend him a hand. My vote for the Greens in Glasgow North feels decadent in comparison to trying to stop the Tory oil wanks. I used to work in a golf club there and boy the attitude of some there. That's the one constituency I'll be keeping a real close eye on.

I own a small business so always saw them in a more favourable light than most.  Brexit is the biggest factor that has made me change my mind (that and Theresa May doesn't have DC's boyish charm).  I've never been in favour of independence really, I don't like separatism and believe we should work harder to get along with each other however  for that same reason I'd probably vote Yes in a referendum if it meant Scotland being a part of the EU.

I'd argue that if you're voting against the Tories rather than for anyone else in particular, the SNP are your best bet to do so. Not only are they more likely, IMO, to win the seat, they also generally form a more convincing opposition to the Conservatives in Westminster than Labour do, what with a huge number of their MP's being more interested in getting rid of their leader than stopping Theresa May.

Indeed. It doesn't seem to have been talked about much compared to Moray or P&NP but I fear for Callum's seat a little.

Sent a postal vote for Dumfries and Galloway a couple weeks ago for the SNP. Fairly begrudgingly as I'd have wanted to vote for big Jezza but suppose my conscience is clear compared to voting for a Tory Farmer c**t. Dumfries and Galloway has one of the lowest incomes in Scotland and high levels of rural poverty yet they'll vote Tory based on flegs.

  • Howdon Library (North Tyneside constituency)
  • Very quiet this morning at 1100am, weather dreach.
  • Voted Labour incumbent Mary Glindon, safe Labour seat
  • Would vote SNP if back in homeland. 
  • Hoping Tories fails to get a majority and Socialist parties pull together to keep them out.

Ended up voting Labour about an hour ago. Met my local Labour candidate though and told him I'd be asking for my vote back if he stabs Corbyn in the back. That's how this all works, right?
