Vote For Anyone

I do hope everyone is out voting. Even if I don't agree with them. I live in the safest Conservative seat in the country (I think), and tacticalvoter.net spurned my advances on that basis. But I still think it's important to vote, though I wish there were a "None of the above" box, and if more than half the votes cast in any constituency were for that, there'd have to be a rerun.

I'm horrified and worried by the Conservative rhetoric on immigration and asylum, and their appeal to naked self-interest over any form of social responsibility. I don't like Labour's authoritarian complacency and intellectual laziness. I think the LibDem's plans for spending make them unelectable. (But I still voted for them)

I read in a newspaper article recently that everyone is taking it as read that Labour will get another term, but that nobody would admit to voting for them. The way it seems to be going at the moment is that admitting to voting LibDem is the only "respectable" choice. Weirder and weirder.

I very much hope that after tomorrow I will be able to go back to thinking about lipstick.

For some people, reddish lipstick shades work. For some people, orangeish lipstick shades work. For no people (except arguably Gary Numan on the cover of Berserker - oh the irony), do blue lipstick shades work.

I'd say that's pretty conclusive.
