    I just been down to vote and I didn't notice Mr Aardvark.:biggrin:

    But Labour was right at the top and I think Cons were at the bottom.

    Whatley.

      Actually, I think he's one of the MPs that's done well. But I base my opinion on the individual, not necessarily the party.

      But it might be the party! I'm giving nothing away!!

      Having been to vote, there was quite a long queue to get in. You'd think it was the queue to see a certain person play tennis!! But no, it really WAS the queue to place ones vote!

      Mind you, I think I was probably the youngest.

              He is (sadly) in a relatively safe area. That man, above all others, is the one that set the rot into the NHS as far as I am concerned. My hatred for him knows no bounds.

                Yeah, he seems the best of a bad bunch. He's ok on a personal level, its the governments he's been part of that were the problem. And lets not forget he ran the NHS and look how that turned out.

                I'm most looking forward to Jacob Rees Mogg and Priti Patel losing.

                I've never been convinced that these ministers actually run much, I think they are just put in charge of something and then get advice from others.

                Of course some are more outspoken than others, but I'm convinced when Labour take over it will still be the same lot of people running things, just possibly a different allocation of the cash.

                    They've probably given up, can't compete with Labour. :biggrin:

                      I'm sure there were other Loonies you could vote for.

                        I'm not sure even the most optimistic (or pessimistic, depending on your view) polls have PP losing her seat. Indeed, she is one of those tipped to step up into the leadership spot that Rishi is about to vacate.
