That's correct and as I recall there was a slogan "Get clean for Gene".

I once voted in one of the US elections in the 70's. I voted for Eugene McCarthy, a third party candidate who claimed to be for the 'yoof'.

Eugene McCarthy went for the Democratic Presidential candidature in 1968 & 1972..

Tries to work out nino's age calculates must be over..

 

[Fisher_Gate]

you've got to admire the thoroughness

I can probably remember the name of the ward/electoral division, and also the candidate in about the half of them ... I'm a sad case I know

he was kinda responsible for the start of Hunter S Thompsons political career too!

Yup, he was solidly troops out now, & on 'get clean for Gene' - Some antiwar students who had the long-haired appearance of hippies chose to cut their long hair and shave off their beards, in order to campaign for McCarthy door-to-door, a phenomenon that led to the informal slogan "Get clean for Gene."

2010: Labour.
2010: (AV referendum) Yes.
2015: Labour (reluctantly).
2016: (EU referendum) Remain.
2017: Labour (more enthusiastic about this one).

[Jon-of-arc]

2001 - I voted, can't remember who for. Didn't know shit about politics, didn't care. My mum was pissed off at my choice, which means it probably wasn't Tory, but I can't be sure. Just wanted to see what voting was like (rubbish).

2005 - no vote

2010 - green (a mate)

2015 - tusc (a mate)

2017 - Labour
