I voted on the way to work this morning. This meant I was the second person into the polling station. We had to wait for a couple of minutes for the officials to finish setting up — strangely parchocial. I was disappointed to see that there was no Green Party candidate; while I’ve always gravitated to the Liberal Democrats, I’m coming to believe that none of the main parties have a radical enough approach to climate change.
Unlike, it would seem, most of the population of the UK, I actually enjoy elections. Or more precisely, I enjoy watching the results coming in. Two elections ago, I stayed up with Neil and Tim late into the night and we had a great time. Best of all, we got to watch live as Michael Portillo lost his seat.
So here I sit, when I should be in bed, watching the BBC’s coverage. Only two seats declared so far, but it’s starting to look interesting. I had to smile when I saw that BBCi has a dedicated Peter Snow channel — wall-to-wall CG swingometers!
