Been and done my bit for democracy...

have scratched my mark upon the scraps of paper with the blunt pencil provided. I've also been to Aldi for wine and chocolate, I have a feeling I'm going to feel the need. My palms are sweating. This election scares me.

:-) Me, I voted a couple of weeks ago... and I'll go to bed at my usual time, waken in the morning, walk the dog, then maybe over my breakfast at 7am think of checking the results... because whoever gets in (or doesn't) I doubt it'll make much difference to the man (or woman) in the street. Because whoever gets in will have to deal with the same problems anyone else getting in would, and a top politician's 'programme' is less than meaningless. Practicality says that adjustments to their manifestos will have to be made.

Yes - I vote, but boy, I'm cynical. I'm totally opposed to 'party' in politics. A system of Government and Opposition automatically bars some of the more competent MPs from the Cabinet. During the war we had a coalition; it worked. So in the current financial climate, why can't we have a coalition again?
