I did it yesterday and got 13/14! wohoo! I got question 12 wrong. I am the star wars KING!

My hero

In our constituency, Mark Stack of the Protest Vote Party gained 313 votes (which would have been between 314 and 317 if we’d been eligible to make our marks) and presumably lost his deposit.

Four go voting …

Heading down to our local polling booth on a balmy evening, none of us had any idea who we were going to vote for. Apparently, the UKIP bloke was barking, the Labour creep hadn’t a clue, the Conservative didn’t need our votes, there wasn’t a Green and the Lib Dem … well, maybe. A brief scan of the list at the doorway left us with no decision to make. Some stalwart, right thinking citizen had stumped up the necessary amount of tin for a deposit and had registered himself as the ‘Protest Vote’ candidate.

Unfortunately, as I had failed to fill in and send off the Electoral Register form some months previously, neither our names nor even our house appeared on the appropriate list so we were deemed not to exist and therefore unable to make our mark.

A pleasant if ultimately pointless excursion, after which we had a tasty supper.

I’m the only one who cares…

I would like to publicly predict a labour majority of 130. Minimum 70 and I feel quite likely to be 150 even. Roy hattersly said that there wouldn’t be a tory pm in his lifetime and his mum is 96 (so even though he’s highly encrusted he’s got some time left). He’s right. They are getting more and more marginalised. No sane moderate person would be made leader because they wouldn’t share views with the membership. And so they are screwed. Happy Tom
