It’s Election Day in
More intriguingly, I’ve just discovered that queues to vote are apparently equipped with – and I’m not making this up – a “Sausage Sizzle”! Now if we could do that I’m sure it would to much to reduce British voter apathy. People would also probably not notice when the polling stations closed before they'd had a chance to vote.......
Note that the sausage sizzle (and cake stalls, trash and treasure stalls, whatever else) aren't technically part of the poll of course, nor are they in the queue to vote. They're often organised by the school/church/institution hosting the polling place, to raise money from voters attending.
ReplyDeleteSome organisations hosting polling places don't get organised, and thus voters attending hoping to chow down on a sausage in bread miss out! The horror!
As far as I'm aware, nothing like this takes place at Polling Stations in Britain. Wish it did! ;-)
