Electioneering

So it's official: May 5th is Election Day. I'm one of those weird people who actually rather likes the whole pre-election build-up, putting me in a rather small minority, I suspect. Can't beat the look of increasing desparation on politician's faces as the date grows closer, especially if they happen to stand no chance of winning - it's a beautiful sight.
Even those who aren't keen on the whole election gubbins can take heart in the fact that the very limited parliamentary time left should hopefully mean that the Identity Cards Bill has to be put aside for now, and the expected result of a reduced Labour majority may scupper the bill's chances post-election. Well, I can but hope...
