Election

Election campaign this time has not felt like what it should do. It has been more like a name calling petty squabble. Tory haven't been saying anything that makes sense to me anymore but then again "Our Tony" hasn't done me or my colleagues any favours in his term. My cross belongs to our Tony but not next to his name, it will be more like over his name.

Just been arguing with that most annoying person in the world (bless him! - yes we still "talk") over voting. In my opinion Not voting to show your protest is stupid. It doesn't send any messege to anyone unless whole of the population did not vote in protest. It only puts the wrong people in power. Although I wasn't there when women were not allowed to vote, it makes me very angry just to think about it. When people in the different parts of the world would give their limbs and lives to exercise their right to vote it is betrayal to human rights not to vote.

So I am going to take my sickie for his annual outing to the polling station. Next year I am going to put the dog on the electoral register too. She has some strong political views. She wants dedicated parks with the signs "Please keep your humans on the lead all the time".

Comments:
Agreed. Not voting is ridiculous, in a country where everybody can do so.

And the telly on election night was brilliant. Hope you caught the Paxman vs. Galloway madness... Completely brilliant.
 
What an interview! Generally Paxman needed taking down a peg or two if you ask me. Demagogue or not Galloway won the election and that's that.
