Vote on the day

In the news today, among many other items - the Sun reporters walk; the Tories have a 2 point lead; Mili B has published a negative poster showing exrayed broken bones and claiming the NHS is not safe without him and UIP faces the fallout from some questionable activity by one of its own. At least today we had no yellow alternative budget box pictured, gripped in Danny's fist, to sadden the heart. To sadden, not because of the content but because of the pitiful charade. Danny A is in coalition and accordingly Osborne's budget was Danny's budget too. Whatever happened to the doctrine of collective responsibility? Well soon the election will be with us and over. How very interesting will be the outcome. Those who claim to know, say it will be another hung parliament. Maybe it will be but the fact is we cannot know what a day may bring forth. On my doorstep this afternoon stood a Tory canvasser. A very pleasant chap. He remembered my position from last time (or his records were good and he had refreshed his memory before ringing the bell) and his, "I don't suppose you will change your mind," was right. How can I vote for a party whose leader breaks his promises and belittles those who do not hold his views and who has already indicated shifts in his negotiating stance with Brussels on a new deal before the promised referendum. Anyway, enough for now. Do let's exercise our democratic right to vote and pray for good members of parliament who will know what to do and who will vote accordingly, whatever their politics.
