The one good thing........
A bad thing is because of the shambolic way some organise things, some did not even get that chance to vote.
How the heck can you run out of voting papers?
Still £750 possible compensation should ease the pain, blimey I would rather have that ammount than to have cast my vote.
But yes a fairly good turnout really considering the poor ammounts over recent years.

Turnout! There are 62 million people in the UK roughly and Cameron said on the TV the other day 9 million voted Tory 6 million voted labour. So what does that make the rest around 1.5 million. Lets face it that bloody shit out of 60 million. In any other vote say for example a trade union vote that wouldn't even be seen to be a big enough turn out for a result.

You need to take out those people ineligble to vote from your 60 million tweeky. I thought turnout was 2/3rds of all those registered to vote?

Banning under 18s from voting makes a dent in that 62 million Tweeky - in fact 29M people voted - 65% of the electorate...

Which in America makes the vote legal.
Pity we don't have the same rule here to ensure people turn out in large numbers thus making the result is as good a representation of the populations desire as it is possible to get.

What you do not think people not being able to vote is democratic then?
It was not isolated incidents either was it?
Still nice to see my comments get a response from you........
Why not define isolated?
In fact, there seem to have been some common factors from reports I've seen. Urban settings for instance. Student populations featured in some of the reports I saw. But I can;t wait to see how you define not isolated....

Its a good point, you also need to take out the mentally incapable and others too. Still there should be a figure somewhere of the amount of people eligible to vote and I would still guess that the total amount voting is not impressive.
Also whoever mentioned the 26 million who voted that sure did not add up with what Cameron said on the TV a few days back unless I'm getting cabbage in my ears again

Surely the point is that regardless of % figures or cock-ups by returning officers and their staff,people were for a change prepared to go out in the rain and queue to cast their vote

Or my alternate view on that. People who went at 6pm to 7pm probably the busiest time and saw a que. Though I cant be arsed to wait I'll come back at and not que and got a shock when they saw a bigger one and then missed their vote.
I went to my local polling station at about 1pm, there was me and one other couple not even any party reps or anything.

Turnout wasn't that different to other general elections.
In one or two areas merged polling districts may have caused a problem. The number of late registrations suggests that there have been changes in behaviour since parties fully appreciated the impacts of rolling registration. Postal voting appears to have peaked for now, not least since the reactionaries insisted on it being made more difficult. However, some councils definitely underestimated demand in some areas....
i wonder what the problem is ? all three main stooges want to cut services, increase taxes, save the bankers with our sacrifice and drag us into new wars and occupations.
they all offer us the fait accomply of an over bearing dept but i ask this question :- if government can print money, who do we owe it to ?

I agree I think alot more people have taken more interest in this election than in the past, my 17yr old has been watching it avidly, unfortunately and it seems its all my fault that she was born late so therefore unable to vote.
