The most exciting election there's been, since the last one...

Local council elections! The second dullest of all UK elections! But never mind for the results are pretty cheering and make me feel a wee bit happier knowing that the country has, in fact, noticed the sheer shitness of the Coalition. (Though London still seems to want Boris as their mayor, I DON'T EVEN KNOW

It *is* a man dressed as a penguin and, frankly, we don't have enough of those in politics.

IT MAKES ME HAPPY. I forget who made it, it'll be on my icon page, but it is lsnaggable.

I've never heard of the UKIP. What's their deal?

Wow, to go from winning to worst results in twenty years...they must be giant fuck-ups.

[calapine]

Their main thing is that they want to UK out of the EU. There're also hard-line right-wingers who have an immigration policy and charming ideas about British nationality that do little to disguise their racism.

They're the BNP who are sternly insisting that they aren't white supremacists despite all their policies about how foreigns and darkies are evil.

I must resist the urge to write in Professor Pongoo come November.

[calapine]

He does want to raise awareness about climate change. Al Gore would probs approve.

Professor Pongoo certainly would win my vote over many other candidates. And hurrah for BNP failing, though rather wish the UKIP would have as well. Oh well. There is always next election, I suppose.

Quite - they did lose their only councillor in Scotland though, which was smashing.
