House visit from a candidate.
Round at my parents doing some drilling for my old man. Guess who came to visit?That's right. One of the local politicians looking for some support. My dad, a life long Labour supporter that has become disillusioned with the party of the people. He has a few socialist ideas such as he does not believe people should have obscene amounts of money. Because he would stop acquiring money once he had enough he thinks that it should be compulsory. Oh well. Nobody is perfect. He is a great dad.
I never even got the chance to say anything. My dad was making quite a statement. He asked her about ID cards, the budget deficit, cameras, council tax, the list went on. Poor thing was stuck there for 20 minutes.
In the end he concluded by saying that Labour would never get his vote again. As she left she said that quite a few people have said the same thing.
Sounds promising. Not long until we find out.
In the meantime I've just discovered that one of my neighbours is up for election. Not sure what party he is yet.

Sounds just like my old man, great aint they, just love it when they surprise the hell out of you..
By the looksof things there are quite a few starting to wake up.
On the other hand more than half the wards in our area have two candidates, Labour and Tory. that's it. Doesn't matter how clued up you are in that circumstance.
