Literally just 13 left-wing dogs at polling stations

The best thing about election day

The only advantage of Theresa May calling an unnecessary and divisive general election is that it brings back #dogsatpollingstations.

What’s more, while the country’s humans seem to be backing a Tory majority, Britain’s canines are overwhelmingly barking for a fairer, more progressive Britain.

Here are just 13 of our favourite left-wing dogs at polling stations.

Some are European immigrants who want their rights protected…

Meet Ozzy. He is a Romanian immigrant. He loves the smell of democracy in the morning. His favourite food is post.#dogsatpollingstations pic.twitter.com/yV6m8NAeww

For the sake of these Frenchies, vote against Hard Brexit & Vote Labour. They are not a bargaining chip. #dogsatpollingstations pic.twitter.com/oNurSzAppf

Some voted by post and so spent the day mocking Theresa May instead…

Others suffered the pain of living in a safe Tory seat
