pete19's Journal: Elections... Voting... Same old bollocks...

So... I returned my Postal Ballot today. Been decided on how I was voting for a while now, so I've not paid a whole lot of attention to all the bollocks on TV, but it's good to think that I've already cast my vote and have no more reason to be involved in the lies and statistics.

This is the BBC analysis of my constituency. It's currently held by the Liberal Democrats who are, as they would say, the real alternative.

I don't agree with fully with any political party, but I agree with the Lib Dems on the three main issues in my mind.
They are:

• opposition to student "top-up" fees (which Blair's Labour government made a manifesto promise not to introduce)
• the war in Iraq, and...
• the introduction of (possibly biometric) identity cards

I really doubt it'll make any difference, but I don't want Howard's Conservative party in power, and I certainly don't want another 5 years of Tony Blair! Oh well, whatever happens on Thursday, I'll probably be disappointed Friday morning... as usual...
