Day 20: Probably even less expected than the polls has been the weather. The light rain will help farmers a bit but more is needed. Anyway, no dampening of enthusiasm for the intrepid small band in Elmsett today.
Some more posters up and the lack of loyalty to the main parties is more evident. People sense something extraordinary and the result nationally will probably be the end of the "1st past the post" system. The Observer runs a brilliant piece on the political make up of the UK based on share of the vote and number of seats under the present sysytem. Each one is called either "grotesque, beyond parody or democratically abominable."
Looking at the polls, do even the Tories secretly wish we had PR?

Your degree of engagament with this blog is appalling. You do understand how these "blog" things work don't you ? Or did you just latch onto this as a cheap way of latching onto the latest buzzword.
Turn off commenting if you aren't planning to respond.
Also posting the district election results to prove "labour can't win here" is statistically dishonest.
However - despite all this, you'll get my vote. "Nigel Bennett - not all that good, but better than the rest of the shower"
