The postal
vote has to be dealt with and minds have to be made up.
We could vote
for the member of the late government who is our MP at present, perhaps out of
inertia it being a relatively "safe" seat that may not be that safe.
But second
childhood irresponsibility and rebelliousness argues against it. We are said to have a "good" member
but that may be because the media adviser is better than most.
There is a
hyper local Lib Dem councillor who works very hard, or at least says he does claiming
to do a great deal, unluckily a lot of this gets up the sensitive nose and his
party is neither liberal or democratic.
The Labour man
seems steady and is not one of the lout or loony end of the party. But it is his superiors who give me the
twitches or perhaps even the shakes.
UKIP is on
offer, at least opposed to the EU, if they knew what they were doing. It might seem a protest vote or it might be
just another daft idea or product of a hangover.
The Green
seems to be delightfully batty in the right sort of eco-way, which is warming
to the heart, alas the other policies which ought to attract bring on cold
shivers.
We have a lady
from one of the Ultra Left groups who wants to take us back to the delights of
one or other of the Soviet satellites of the 1950's, but we do not want to go
at any price.
Then there is
a protest health candidate who at first seemed to have a point. Unluckily the flyer that came had a paragraph
in it that gave his other ideas all quite barmy.
Decisions like
this get my goat but at least the one above knows which way to jump.
I think.
Our choice seems similar. I'd like a genuine eccentric to join the fray such as the late Lord Sutch, but the eccentrics on offer have more than a touch of totalitarian madness lurking in the background.
