“Go away! I’ve voted, and I’m not coming out until after the Exit Poll”.

“I certainly like the sound of lower tuition fees, but I do have concerns - on the one hand, we’ve heard it all before, haven’t we, and on the other, I might well stay in academia, so if it’s about a more progressive funding settlement then sure, but if it’s at the expense of properly funding our universities, it might be bad all round, and for me in particular. Wait, do college cats pay tuition fees?”

“I have heard people talking about the ‘Garden Tax’ and telling me I should be worried - well, joke’s on them, it might be worth two million quid but my house as you can see is tall and thin, with no real garden to speak of at all. It’s people in bungalows with corner plots I feel sorry for”.

“My Brexit priority is regaining control of our waters from the wasteful, inefficient, and anti-British Common Fisheries Policy. I mean look, this pond for example was teeming with fish until the EU stuck their noses in. My Remain-voting human slave had the cheek to say it was all my own fault for eating them, when it’s plainly down to those clowns in Brussels. Quisling”.

“You’re still on for helping me out at the allotment tomorrow though, right Jeremy? You’re not doing anything important? Jeremy?”

“I don’t want to come over as selfish but the parties seem to be in a bidding war for who will build most houses and, well, I already have a house I like, as you can see rather a nice one, and I moved to a village to get away from the overcrowded city. So if this election means building a load of grim little flats all around my precious green spaces, you can count me out”.

“As a small business owner what really worries me is how vague the party manifestos are on tax. All of them seem to commit to some sort of ‘review’ of the business rates system, but I don’t want to hear that there’s going to be a review. I want to know whether I’m going to need to pay more, or less, and what sort of exemptions there might be for small shops, and cats”.
