So voting is 'work' but almost everything else is allowed???
As Bluebirds explained, traditionally the UK holds election on Thursday due to historical reasons.
Having election on Thursday fits the majority of voters' convenience.

Thank you for your answers about the vote. I am surprised people go to work and vote the same day, it is not probably very easy for them (they may have to wait a long time, because people go to vote at the same time??).
In France, elections are on sundays. Politicians like to bother us during the week-end...
Does the Queen Vote, by the way??? I think she can't, but I may be wrong.

It's because traditionally it was a Blue Peter day so made it easier to remember.
No the Queen as Head of State is part of the Parliamentary institution so she can't vote.
This is an amazing article.Seriously, will you please take a few minutes to read this article, then come back and justify your tory vote today.
Please, unless your conscience prevents you.

Anyone remember staying up in 1997 and feeling elated watching Portillo lose his seat? I predict I will be feeling the exact opposite of that at 2am tomorrow morning....Anyone care to place a prediction before the polls close at 10 and the TV companies start making their predictions.
I'm going for Conservative largest party but no majority. They will try to form a minority government (not a coalition) with support from the Ulster unionist parties to get legislation through (a bit like the SNP do in Scotland at the moment).
Cameron will go back to the country for another election, to seek a fuller mandate within a year.
Anyone else with a crystal ball?
