Election Day is finally here and it has brought the

sun with it. On a blisteringly hot spring day, the community has taken to the
local polling stations to cast their votes on who will become our next Prime
Minister.
On what could possibly be the most important day of
the year for our country, and one which marks a vitally important decision we
make to outline our near future, the locals of Pimlico attended their
designated polling station to vote for the party they would like to see next in
power. A hung parliament is still a very real possibility with this year’s
general election being the closest to call in years. Nick Clegg, David Cameron
and Gordon Brown have changed history by taking part in live debates, the first
our nation has ever seen. Since the last live debate, which took place last
Thursday, the leading party candidates have been frantically touring the
country to secure last minute votes.
The atmosphere among the community seemed calm today
and many seemed to have made up their minds about who had secured their votes.
Yet, there were some I spoke to who were still undecided and told me they would
cast their vote once they were in that booth. This only echoes yesterday’s
article in which I revealed that one in four voters had still not made up their
minds.
As well as the general election voters have been
asked to vote for their local candidates as well. Our online poll reveals that
Naomi Smith (the Liberal Democrats candidate) is in the lead so far with 69 per
cent of the votes.
