Postal Vote

We have an election day next Thursday.
There are both the European Parliament and the Local Authority elections.
I completed my forms before I realised that they would make a photo so this one is Adrienne's.
The position of my hand on the form was for photographic reasons and no political inference should be made.

When I went to vote at a polling station a few years back I saw the various party members outside the door.
They ask your number so that they know who in the population has voted.
I walked up and said, "I can't tell you who I will vote for but I am wearing that party's coloured underpants!!!
I don't think they knew what to say!!

Oh, the Conservatives tag line is certainly not going to win them any votes in Europe. :)

You are hilarious. And on the spot, no less.

I have no green panties (not particularly appealing...) HOWEVER...I have voted green!

LOL Chris - you've not got 'green' underwear on?? I wonder how many will get returned ... and did you put the right paper in the right envelope, which in turn go's in another envelope, with the other form and get someone to witness it?? May have been quicker to go to a polling station!! Still, the ideas right enough?

great idea for a photo - and I love your comment about what color you are wearing.
