Social1 Discussing an electionThe 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! -
