Well i'm officially annoyed.

Nobody from the Electoral Commission better cross my pah in the immediate future.

I have never had problems in he past, i have been able to vote with relative ease despite having visual difficulties but today...the writing and party emblems was faint, the boxes seemed smaller and to top it all off the lighting was nigh on nonexistent.

And being one of those over proud and stubborn types, asking for help is nowhere near the top of your list of responses.

Just as well that we walked to the polling station, allowed me the chance of stoming off for a bit with much gesticulating, ranting at the world and my own stupidity as i went.

I might make an official complaint, or start some action group over this and similar disadvantages in society.



Beyond my personal gripes, i do like my news and politics, so i'll be interested either way. Hope that the London electorate send Ken packing. Who knows as to the AAssembly though. For the rest of the country Labours losses are of course expected to be high, just a question of degree. How well the Lib Dems do this early on under Clegg's leadership will be interesting.

There'll be a fair bit of spin in the morning no doubt.
