It's undoubtedly "cooler" to vote for a left leaning party. If you compare the celebrity cheerleaders for Labour (Steve Coogan's seafront video, visits to Hove and Portslade from Eddie Izzard and Ross Kemp) to the Tories (Gary Barlow, Phil Collins and Katie Hopkins) you could see why people may...

I'm trying to feel disappointed and find myself unable to. Peter Kyle and Caroline Lucas will be two of the best MPs in the whole house, Baker has lost his seat, Milliband won't be PM or even leader of the Labour Party and the Sweaties will probably keep us in Europe. All I need now is for...

Exactly my plan

As a serious note my son has PE Club at 7.30 tomorrow morning and my routine is set to take him and then go for a run as I work at home on Fridays. I'm looking at seeing the first result, off to bed and up at about 5 I reckon.

Only in The Congo

Thinking of a drinking game. Single malt for mention of the SNP, organic cider for the Greens, an old Chablis for the Tories, John Smiths mixed with Aussie Shiraz for Labour, something unreliable in a nicely branded bottle for the Lib Dems and looney juice for UKIP. By the end I'll be in a...

Seems ever more clear that despite rejecting AV a vote for Labour is now a secondary vote for the SNP and a vote for the Tories is a secondary vote for UKIP. Even more imperative to simply choose the best candidate as whoever ends up in government will be running a car crash.

We have already had Peter Kyle and Graham Cox's "people" round. It's actually going to be a hard choice. Strip away the rosettes and one opened his campaign just down the road from us and has been very active in sorting out the mess that is the local schools. The other is actually exactly what I...

Council tax bills are set locally. The Tories HAD to honour the existing grants. After that they stopped them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20265583

IMO exactly why it's important to have a decent constituency MP. Whoever's at the top, running the country is likely to have to a) be a massive CJTC who'd sell his/her granny for a bit of power and b) be prepared to go back on their own principles in the name of pragmatism (see B-liar, Tony and...

Ha! Not yet. I'm even going to look as far as I can in to the fringe candidates. No point saying you're going to do something and not doing it.

And minute one of my research in to Graham Cox shows this is going to be an interesting exercise. He supports a redeveloped King Alfred as a top class sports venue (support 100%) but also support for the Kings School (the faith school that tried to steal BHASVICs playing fields so 100% against)...

So, as discussed on other threads, this time round I am going to vote for the person I believe will be the best all round candidate for my seat. A good constituency MP in other words as many said Andrew Bowden was in Kemp Town or Caroline Lucas is in Pavillion. I am not in either of those but...
