Election Day 2010 is under way in Chester and Chronicle reporter CHELSEY MCFARLANE has been out into the city centre to find out how voting is going.

Sarah Young, of Saltney: “I have voted this year, but yet again it’s all the same, the best of a bad lot. It is a scandal for cash and they’re all out for their own ends. There is no real difference between any of them.”

Adam Hinde, 30, butcher, of Queens Road, Chester: “I’m not voting this year. I don’t see the point in voting for someone to spend my taxes, they always want more.”

Ryan Crewdson, 33, bank worker, of Blacon: “I won’t be voting. It’s a waste of time, they are all puppets on strings. The country is already in a mess.”

Elizabeth Cotterell, 50, midwife, of Vicars Cross: “I’m going to vote this afternoon. It’s been a good election overall, more interesting than the last. I think they have all put their points across well.”

Jean Poole, 61, of Lache: “I am going to vote this afternoon but this general election has been no different to the others. It’s always the same repetitive process.”

Margaret Jones, 70, of Boughton Heath: “I have voted, though it’s always the same, a narrow majority between two parties.”
