Well, I’ve cast my votes in the European Parliamentary election and the Borough Council elections. I must admit I’m rather fortunate to be in an area where Labour can and hopefully should win as for the most part Colchester is divided between Tories and Lib Dems. My friend Conrad implored me to tactically vote for the Lib Dems - I would never consider such an action ordinarily, their stance on Iraq makes them completely unelectable for me aside from other matters and given that Labour can win in this ward I get to vote for my party and have it win.
We have a great candidate who’s actually done things other than raise council taxes and fail to organize refuse collection whilst blowing millions of pounds on arts centres, closing daycare and elderly centres ala Lib Dem / Tory led Council.
I also of course voted in the European Parliamentary elections, I’ve made my thoughts on that matter clear :)
Later
John
