Decision day.

General Election Day in the UK.
We have to choose our new government today & its an even more important one this time as the successful party has to negotiate the most difficult & complex task of guiding us through Brexit.
Many hurdles & I'm sure setbacks on the way but hopefully at the end there will be a result that is the best we can achieve for us all.

I love Election night as I take a lot of interest in the goings on in the political world following as much as I can in the weeks leading up to today.
Must admit I have heartedly had enough this year!!

I have had a little kip this afternoon all ready for my marathon night!

Our very quiet polling booth but there was a steady stream, if you could call it that!!

Three good things:
1. I haven't got to go out to work tomorrow just two breakfasts here.
2. M&S chocolate pudding.
3. We have moved on from our porta cabin on the roadside to a proper building on the caravan park for our polling station. See above!

May the best man/woman win!

[Pat Knowles]

@louannwarren yes indeed Lou!

[Maggiemae]

Ah - thats what the photo means! Every vote is important! Hope the outcome is a popular one!

[Penelope Ann]

I've voted!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae well half will be outraged & the other half relieved so no winners really. It might be closer than they reckon so will be interesting!

[Pat Knowles]

@pennystot 👍🏻😀

[Allison Williams]

Hope you have a better result than we in the U.S. had.

[julia]

Good luck with the result and you making it through to the end.. our turn layer in the year..

[Pat Knowles]

@allie912 @julzmaioro yes a very risky business, how we have to rely on our politicians for our safety, well being, financial & social stuff is scary!

[Bep]

I really hope that a lot of young people are going to vote...

[Dianne]

Hopefully you can stay awake till the results are clear!

[Pat Knowles]

@gijsje Hmmmm!

[Pat Knowles]

@dide oh I shall Dianne but hope I don't consume too much food!

[Jen Hudson]

Good shots to show the day. Love the peek thro the wheel to the polling card, clever.

[Phil Howcroft]

i love your polling station Pat

[KWind]

I hope it goes your way!!

[Bep]

23.15 (Your time) I'm watching BBC and look at the exit polls. Rather surprising, isn't it?

[Dawn]

I hope it goes your way

[Babs]

Hope it all ends well, but I hear the latest reports from Australia are that there is the possibility of a hung parliament. What a bugger's muddle that would turn out to be.

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing it would be disaster Babs! I am all gloom & doom here not so much because labour are doing so well but we have voted fir Brexit & we need a string givetnmentbto,get the best deal. It will be all fighting & scrapping now with big problems! Can't believe how times have changed for JC who not that long ago had no support even in his own party!

[Pat Knowles]

@gijsje very surprising Bep! The change in the mood of the country is just unbelievable!

[Babs]

@happypat Maybe it is time to emigrate to NZ Pat.

[Newbank Lass]

What a night... hubby crawled into bed with me at 4. Interesting times ahead Pat.

[Pat Knowles]

@newbank my word there are Ruth! Or ally I would think we'll turn & turn about but just now when we need a strong government to lead us through Brexit whether you agree or not Brussels are going to walk all over us & there will be much argy bargy in Parliament. Chaos!

[Pat Knowles]

@newbank I meant to say normally I don't mind so much turn & turn about between parties, it's good democratic results but as above just now!
