Hoyle has not selected votes for 16 and 17 year olds or EU citizens but it's provisional until he confirms it in the speaker's chair which won't be until after the first vote in about twenty mins

It’s coming and I am certain we will all see the swing that will put a few back in their boxes
Oh hell yes you gonna see a swing, you’re gonna see Liebour swing clean out of politicians, hopefully led by Can’t add Abacus Abbot, terrorist McDonnel, Weird Stammer And last but not least that ****ing idiot David “Lame” Lammy.

Likely to be a big row about letting EU citizens vote, which might even scupper election vote tonight - worth knowing there are no other EU countries that give all EU citizens right to vote in general elections (exceptions for some Commonwealth citizens and Irish nationals)
There are no binding rules on this Ellers as the EU does not interfere in matters of internal politics. The 1992 Maastricht treaty imposed reciprocity inside the EU concerning voting rights in local elections - this had previously applied only to the Euro ones. This is still the minimum standard but several countries have gone further than this. Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Belgium, The Netherlands, Slovakia and Slovenia have all extended this right to non EU nationals. Spain and Portugal allow full voting rights to nationals of some countries on a reciprocal basis. There is no standard practice on this which applies to all countries as long as they abide by at least the minimum.

Sadly the muppet show are all in safe seats. However listening to one commentator tonight he reckons
Labour will get hammered up north by Brexit party.

Sweet jesus Turkish. Compare Abbott to Grayling?? No contest. Grayling cost us millions! Reece Mogg and that little slimey twat Gove ffs cant wait for those ****s to go! Although Gove will somehow snake his way into another job. Come on labour let's get rid of this right wing corrupt tory party.

Fortunately people with half a brain see through the tory lies and propaganda. Unfortunately that is less than a 1/4 of the population! Wait for a labour manifesto with costing and real policies, then a tory campaign all about smearing Jeremy Corbyn. Quite sad and pathetic

I so hope it goes like May's snap election. I would absolutely piss myself with laughter. Time will tell, personally I do think that the lemmings will win but will be voting labour as they serve me and my family better. We shall all live with the consequences one way or another.

Bob people don’t trust Corbyn. He has dithered too much. He played political games and it has backfired. Even as I type they are saying on the radio that Boris is clear fav with a 17 point lead and is trusted more than Corbyn. Woman voters don’t connect with Jezza as well. He will be gone after the election.
