I actually had a moment at the booth where I was lost as to who to vote for. I stood there thinking definitely not Tory, are Labour just another same-old same-old as I’ve been constantly annoyed by recent “Whatever they say, say the opposite” campaigns. I thought reform briefly, as I do think we need a REAL change in government but didn’t have the confidence in general experience, so I did the traditional Northern thing and went Labour, partially because they are A change but not sure if it’ll be enough of one, and partially because I did the sheep thing and went with “the one who’s going to win anyway” as ours is a pretty safe seat for Labour.
Didn’t even vote till nearly 9pm down to general apathy but the wife pointed out “If you don’t vote, don’t complain about the result”. Being a US citizen, my wife didn’t have to make any choice, not eligible to vote anyway! I almost envied her…
