This is totally anecdotal of course, but I was talking to some of the people I used to work with in London. In 2015, I would say about 70% voted Conservative, this time, not a single one is.

Obviously, middle class twenty-somethings in London are a bit of an odd demographic in this election, but there are definitely a crowd of more-or-less socially liberal, right leaning voters who are plumping for the Communist over the Fascist.

Sure sure.

What always amuses me on Election Days are the stories told by Lefties. The best are:

- All Cons/Republicans/Right-Wingers I know (and I know a lot despite living in a left-wing bubble with of course no immigrants, older People outside family and people I disagree with cause I'm totally tolerant except for other opinions) stay home/vote the other way.
- Turnout in my left-wing are is skyrocking, never have I seen such a long queue
- I spoke with people in the line and all were voting left-wing, some haven't voted in 100 years, even people normally voting the other side admitted proudly they support us.
- texted with a friend in a heavily rural area and NOBODY was in the voting room when he voted, turnout is down there.


We'll see how it turns out, maybe you should look more at the weather forcast cause it's your side depending on low information, sluggish voters to come out.

Oh the irony

It's ok to be a fascist, but please, try to be a consistent one.
