Election night in the UK.
I had, once upon a time, a long ranty post planned about how poor the choice was in this election. I had a belligerent plan to ignore it.
I still feel the old system of monolithic parties that you follow on *every* policy (a la Polly-whats-her-face at the Grauniad) is a pretty piss poor way to implement your democracy – bordering on a bi-decade elected oligarchy. And don’t get me started on the baby boomer agenda. In the end I voted for the party that least annoyed me.
But…
At least there appears to have been engagement, people cared, and that’s important. Maybe, just maybe, we’ll get real change.
And I don’t mean Cameron.
NB – If you are swinging through because of my various attempts at satire, please do – if you weren’t too offended – check out my fiction.
