I can imagine all the old brexiteer blunrinse biddies shuffling their way down to the polling station, falling over on the ice, cursing BJ along the way. I think there are a few reasons elections tend to be in May
Maybe a December election is a good idea It's maybe more to do with the campaigners bothering to knock on doors - I've still never seen one
you are right about it not being common to have snow in December but I do remember December 83 in Aberdeen being snowed in with a power cut for a couple of days.
Last big snow in December was 2010 but that wasn't until the 17th - as I remember The snow in winter 84 lay until about February with Glenshee open into May, which was nice
You are a resident in a safe *whatever* seat. Your MP could not care less if you live or die. Trust me. I live in a safe arse-licker seat and his boilerplate response to my genuine concerns, despite being written on the most expensive stationery I have ever seen in my life, was fragrant with contempt.
I remember that. You guys were troubled greatly by White Walkers that year. Thankfully, the undead are too scared of the English to venture South.
My seat is Banff & Buchan, currently 'spit' Tory but formerly a regular seat of a Mr. A. Salmond so probably not considered 'safe' - I don't think either of them care whether I live or die but that is politicians for you
Neither have I. At the last election we watched from the living room window a representative for the tory candidate stick a leaflet through our door saying "Sorry we missed you". Unfortunately the lying tory bastard got the seat
Maybe you live in a rough neighbourhood. 1984. I remember nothing from 2010 or 2011. Not. One. Thing.
Typical tory tactics - reminds me of the Harry Enfield sketch campaigning for Charlie's uncle 'con' yes that's him alright....
Very rough as I live there one of these dodgy biker fellows you know, ruffians 1984 was a good year in many ways - they even wrote a book about it
What about general 'bad' weather? Anyway who decided snow should be considered 'bad'? I like snow I do
