I've been warning a lot over the past few days that the two, big parties had better get a move on if they're going to reverse the Lib Dem surge. People started voting by postal ballot last Saturday. And the total who've done so may well have hit the million mark by now.
On reflection, after today's events Labour may be glad many people have already voted!

It doesn't matter what the decision is based on, simply that a box has been ticked.
Apt metaphor for the the age.
Labour could now send Budgie the little Helicopter to airlift troops to be driven around on flatbeds by Peppa with no consequence to the military vote (such as they had one. Literally, one).
Speaking of Peppa.... great that the hostilities seem to have abated. Maybe the Taliban, etc are also in election mode too?
