This state active-duty mission is being undertaken at the request of the County Boards of Elections. This support is an extension of the Guard’s active role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in New Jersey. (New Jersey National Guard photo by Mark C. Olsen)

VOTE LABOUR - HERE'S WHY
Here's what I look for in a Prime Minister:
Does he smile a lot?
Does he remember my name when I ask him a question?
When he answers a question, is the first thing he says: 'I agree with you'.
Does he mention words such as 'change', 'hope', 'optimism', 'little fluffy-wuffy bunnies with waggly tails'?
Cobblers.
I want someone who can stand in the sleet in Lowestoft and say he's fighting hard 'every second, every minute, every hour, in the wind in the rain, and in the sun, every day and in every way' to win the election - as Gordon Brown did on Monday.
There's something heroic about a man who's faced so many knocks remaining resolute and determined. You know he's one of those MPs who's doing the job to serve the public, not for perks.
So what is if he's awkward and miserable? We're not electing a meet-and-greeter in a supermarket and these are serious times.
But never mind the personality. Here is someone who made the right decisions on saving the banks and made the right decisions on staving off depression. Unlike the Tory recessions of the 80s and 90s, inflation, interest rates and, crucially, unemployment are lower.
His policies on dealing with the global crisis have been followed or matched around the world - only the Tories disagree. If the Tories had been in power thousands would have lost their savings in Northern Rock and Bradford and Bingley.
And Dave Cameron, who bats his puppy dog eyes and says he loves our country, can't resist talking it down - warning of Greek-style debt disasters and IMF interventions. His comments no doubt affect the markets and our country.
And what of Dave's Broken Britain? When crime has gone down by a third since 1997? Look at the new schools and hospitals built under Labour.
Dave undoubtedly has the intelligence and charm to pull a big speech out of the bag at crucial times - at the Tory conference that elected him as leader, at the first Tory conference after Mr Brown was elected leader of the Labour party and at the third TV election debate.
But for all his 'I love the NHS' bluster he is using the excuse of the debt to carry out the Tories' long-cherished dream of dismantling public services. Do-it-yourself schools? They've failed in Sweden. And let's not forget the NHS was set up at the end of World War 2 when the deficit was bigger.
As for Nick Clegg and the Liberals, it makes you wonder what impact his predecessor Charlie Kennedy would have had in the TV debates as he is someone with real personality. The Liberals' policies on tax and Trident are tempting, but Clegg's 'old parties' shtick and his hands apart gestures, like he's miming a big loaf, were looking very tired by the third TV debate.
So I say vote Labour to see us out of recession and preserve public services.

Labour Party Election Manifesto 2011
One Ireland - Jobs, Reform, Fairness
Reform
Change politics. Labour’s job in government is to serve the best interests of the Irish people. Labour will abolish the Seanad, end cronyism on State boards, and make Ministers and public servants accountable for their decisions.
A new Constitution. Labour will ask a people’s convention to draw up a new Constitution setting out the aspirations, the values and the rules that Irish people want to live by now.
Open up government. Labour will extend the right to Freedom of Information, require political lobbyists to be publicly registered, and introduce legal protection for whistleblowers.
Reform public service. Labour has a plan to make the public service more flexible, work better, and to get better value for money.

from the 2005 General Election.
Watching the video, it looks like it's been heavily influenced by TV Centre itself - some of the set dressing includes the trees and windows of the donut.
A non-party political sign in the Bearpit in central Bristol advising people to vote for someone in the forthcoming General Election. In 2015 more than half of UK constituencies had more registered voters declining to vote than votes received by the winning parties. Whether this will change in this election only two years later.. who knows? This poster urges a change in this attitude.
One chapter of the 1987 ITN Election Factbook was devoted to examining the 'regions' of Britain: a term used quite openly in relation to Scotland at that time.
There were then 72 parliamentary constituencies in Scotland, which approached the 1987 general election with 21 Conservative, 41 Labour, 8 Liberal-SDP Alliance and two SNP MPs.
I coloured in the constituency map to represent the parties which had hitherto held each of the seats, then marked the marginal constituencies with hatching to represent which way they could conceivably change hands.
The predictions were largely, but not entirely, borne out. The Tories paid the price for the poll tax proposal, amongst other things, and saw their representation reduced to ten MPs. Meanwhile the SNP lost both its previously held seats to Labour, but gained another three.
We indeed live in changed, but interesting, times!
