Thursday 7th May - elections

 I'm sharing this post from Ang at Tracing Rainbows because voting is so important. 

Here's Dave Walker's excellent cartoon;


In my area it's likely that people will be voting tactically.

Here is the Marsh family... they've nailed their colours to the mast! (Also from Ang's post)

    1. Sad to think that political satire like the Marsh family's songs would be too dangerous in a totalitarian state.

  3. Mine went in the post a few days ago. I swear, if the Monster Raving Looney Party had a candidate in my constituency I would have voted for them!

    1. Who would be a politician these days? It's tough to reconcile a real desire to serve your country with honesty and integrity with the need to gain votes to stay in post. Sometimes I despair of the politicians, other times I despair of the voters!

  5. We posted ours a while ago. I do agree with that cartoon. I wish everyone would vote - it's not difficult.

  6. I dread looking up my local area result. Apparently Reform have taken over Essex County Council. Dooom!
