Election 31

Reminder: Latest blog at top of page. Earlier posts towards the bottom.

It's said that 'actions speak louder than words', and - tomorrow - talk will become meaningless. Nevertheless, talk about tactical voting seems to be all the rage, at the moment.

The reason I'm mentioning this is that, from my own point of view, voting tactically is unlikely to have any effect whatsoever because I live in a rural area where the prospect of the Tory MP being unseated is extremely unlikely.

Interestingly, however, the house next to where I live happens also to be in the next constituency. What's more, that particular constituency includes a significant urban area and, as a consequence, has been represented by both Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs for the past few elections.

Not surprisingly, I envy my neighbours because it seems that they have the opportunity to cast a rather more 'meaningful' vote than my own. What's more, although I make no claim to understand what is meant by 'Proportional Representation' (in its many forms), if it went some way towards getting rid of what seems to be inequities within the current system - I'm all for it!
