voting
My first Lib Dem vote in a general election.
The local labour guy got in here but he was pretty much going to. I've voted Labour in the last two elections but I knew that I wouldnt in this one. I just think Blair needed to hear the he cant ignore the voice of the british people. When you have the biggest protest in history over an issue it isnt wise to just get on and do what you like anyway. It was sad that the only way I could say that was to not vote for a man who had voted against that decision anyway.
I thought about voting for Salma Yaqoob who was standing for Respect but while she seems really nice I didnt like the shouty socialist worker nature of her publicity. I dont think George Galloway appears to be that nice a character either. I've have felt more comfortable voting for her as an independent. I was interested to see that she was in second place here
result for sparkhill and small heath
Stayed up till half two. Saw my parent's constituency of Sedgefield declared and it's famous winning candidate make his speech and then went to bed. Such a lot of wacky independents there, one woman appeared to have changed her name to Blairout. It's very silly. I do wander what what would happen if someone seriously tried to contest that seat with believable policies, tried to engage the people to do more than their automatic cross next to Labour because that is what they've always done. Mam was saying yes she felt very sorry for Mr Keys losing his son in the war but hat didnt mean he knew anything about schools and hospitals did it so she wasnt going to vote for him. I took her through whoshouldivotefor and she got the surprise of her life to discover she was a liberal democrat but then she glumly informed me that it wouldn't make the slightest little bit of difference 'round ere' anyway. I would bet that both my parents have given Tony their vote, which is a shame because he probably doesnt stand for anything that the good people of Ferryhill believe in.
