Here in North West Durham, vote for Watts Stelling this time.
Everywhere, vote for a hung Parliament, leading to electoral reform and thus to the re-emergence of proper parties that really speak for us.
I probably won't be back here until late tomorrow evening, after I have had the latest of my several ultrasounds. I have also once had an epidural. Seriously.

Due to a combination of complex paperwork and my own lack of organisation and foresight, I will not be voting in this election.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do hope that everyone who can vote does so, and that there is a hung parliament as a result.
If this happens then all action must be taken-- independent of political beliefs or party allegiance--to create a critical mass in favour of PR. A critical mass which will be impossible to ignore and very hard to deny.
If people have to resort to tactical voting in order to make this happen they should, unfortunately, consider it.
Hopefully this election will be the last one in which votes are used tactically, wasted completely or not even cast due to a lack of choice in certain constituencies.
I need a little advice David. In my constinuency, Labour have a 7000 majority. Their nearest rivals are the Tories. Who do I vote for to ensure a hung parliament?
ReplyDeleteDepends where everyone else is.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that you will already have voted by the time that you read this, or the polls will have closed, or both. In any case I have to go off and be ill (barely left the house since Easter). Sorry that I couldn't be of any more help.
But we will all meet again in much better days.
