Canadian by-elections, 2012

[doktorb]

As an aside, yes, things are different in the UK.

After the 2010 election, new signs have appeared at polling stations which say "Polls close at 10pm, always expect queues as you cannot vote afterwards" or somesuch. I think there's an amendment to the law going through the Commons, at the usual pace you'd expect.

The Grochowski/Prashad race to 1.0 is my favoured race

Old people. And they're British

Well, considering the area, either the counters are elderly people, public servents or stoned young adults.

None of those are known for their quickness.

Haha, I'm learning a lot tonight

[doktorb]

So you know as well as I do that voting isn't the only thing British people take hours to finish

How terribly rude
