Its happened in real election exit polls too - for whatever reason some people are embarrassed to say they've voted tory.

Don't think I would support a party that I was ashamed to admit to.
I am not ashamed to admit to voting Tory.
After all it was Gordon Brown who promised "No more boom and bust." and "Britain is well placed to survive the economic downturn."

Well even Gordon is chagrined by making that speech now.

But as boom and bust is something of a tory speciality, would you have thought things would have been different?

Well, we'll never know, will we? Whereas we do know the topical shambles that has been on Labour's watch.

Nick Harvey has voted and is about to pop Envelope B in the post, so it's pointless any canvassers turning up at Harvey Towers now. The only ones to appear, thus far, couldn't work out how to ring the doorbell, so that party wasn't deemed intelligent enough to warrant my vote.

I have similarly just followed the instructions to the T and posted the ballot back. Confusingly my ballot is being handled by a neighbouring council for the first time in my experience. Imagine it's because there are no local elections for me this time. Not even convinced one of the candidates has ever stepped foot in the constituency.
