Just a reminder to anybody who has applied for a postal vote, and still has the letter sat on their desk, that it is about time to open it, put a cross in one of the boxes, and get it to the voting station.
I just did mine, and my boyfriend will deliver it by hand in the morning.
Whoever you choose to vote for, it would be a shame to be permitted to vote and not to do so!

I sent my postal vote to the Netherlands last week. The envelope is orange, so everybody knows where to deliver it .

Or to tamper with it/throw it in the trash...

I'm always scared that a temperaMENTAL postal worker will do something with my ballot.

Is it really worth risking not only their job but also a criminal conviction by tampering with the post? Especially considering the only impact it'll have is a single vote, and the postal worker wouldn't even know who you voted for.

Well, the results were kind of what was expected, but it doesn't stop them being disappointing. That idiot Weidel was on TV last night claiming the results demonstrated that the Green issue was "weg vom Tisch". Obviously, a large number of people being prepared to vote for a party even Le Pen considers too far right, means that there won't be any more flooding in Germany or any other impacts of climate change.
