Bit of a bummer for those people who, like me, live in a constituency which, traditionally, has a massive majority for one particular party. If you are of a different political persuasion, voting is like piddling into the wind. I actually didn't vote at all this time - for the first time since I was old enough to vote. Mrs. F. gave me the predicted telling off ("If everyone did that... etc."), and I'm sure she's right, but there you have it. I just couldn't be arsed.

If you're interested, my constituency is Arundel and South Downs - massively, 80+% Conservative, so my non-Conservative vote wouldn't have made a ha'porth of difference, as it never has in the past. The irony is that the resident MP, Nick Herbert, is actually quite a decent guy and really does his best within the constituency. Unfortunately, one has to vote - if one votes at all - for policies rather than personalities.

No one party reflects all the policies that I approve. Hey ho, back to the ukulele...
