Time off, so, to bed...

Well, I booked of the three days surrounding election day as soon as it was announced. I meant to contact the Totnes candidate (Torbay is a shoe-in) and go off campaigning lots, I know I really enjoy campaigning. What have I done so far? Nothing. Today? Watched The Incredibles. Then I watched the commentary!

Just got back in from the shops; bought a pile of junk food to snack out on. Guess I'd better renew my TV licence tomorrow and re-tune the TVs; not going campaigning so I'll watch until dawn.

Unless there's another election addict in Devon that would enjoy my company until the small hours tomorrow night while the results come in?

I'm probably going to watch the results on the inevitable BBC News webcast, most likely with Mister Pink (who sat through the USA 'lections with me too). Don't know if you'd want to come round for that, especially as we'll have to be quiet so as not to wake up Colin.

there's nothing wrong with watching the incredibles!

on an elections note - i'm not entirely certain i'll be able to vote tomorrow (or should that be today?) as i think my polling card has gone to home... *makes note to call parents in the morning*

No card required

You don't need a card. You just need to know where you live. You don't even (technically) need any proof of id. A card just speeds up the process.

You know all the fuss about how easy it is to cheat with postal ballots? It's easy to cheat with real ballots as well. Turn up, take your student id card and something with your address on if you've got it and you're fine.

Really. Trust me. There's a reason that I'm an extreme reformist when it comes to the way our "democracy" works. The more I learn about it, the more I want to change it.

Incidentally, nothing wrong with the Incredibles, absolutely, that's why I effectively watched it twice today. But spending the day in bed when I had planned to do so much?

Ah well. Logging off to sleep soon...
