2 -Discussing an election-

Social1 Discussing an election
The election is next Thursday. Le elezioni sono giovedì prossimo.

Who are you going to vote for? Per chi voterai?

I haven't decided if I'll vote or not yet. Non ho ancora deciso se votare o no.

I live in a safe Labour seat, and I don't think there's much point voting. Abito in una circoscrizione che rappresenta un seggio sicuro dei laburisti, non ha molto senso votare.

If there's a big swing to the Lib Dems there could be a hung parliament. Se ci fosse un grosso spostamento verso i liberaldemocratici potrebbe essere difficile raggiungere una maggioranza.

I live in a marginal Tory seat. Abito in una circoscrizione che ha eletto un conservatore con una maggioranza risicata.

Every vote counts! Ogni voto è importante!

The exit polls are predicting a small Conservative majority. Gli exit poll prevedono una maggioranza scarsa dei conservatori.

I haven't made up my mind yet. Non ho ancora preso una decisione.

Mind your own business! Fatti gli affari tuoi!
