h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well the election is well and truly over meaning that I can (finally) express my opinion with little fear of "moderation" here.

1) My vote - I voted for the Liberal Democrats party from the four on offer locally (LD, Lab, Con, UKIP) as (by far) the lesser of all the evils. The reasons why I chose to ignore the other parties are listed below :
Conservatives - Too right wing, Anti-immigration, Anti-Euro
Labour - I was going to vote labour but their candidate patronised me into submission. He sent round a how-to guide for voting and his campaign was largely based on how bad the conservatives are (true but....)
UKIP - Anti-Euro always a non-starter
What would have been my party of choice? Socialist Alliance.

2) The results - Hardly surprising, Labour got a landslide again. The best bit was when the tories had one seat and the Lib Dems had 5. Unfortunately it didn't last and the tories got 150ish and the lib dems 47 last I heard. The worst bit was the BNP (Nationalists) got 6,000 in Oldham, which is far too many thank god we don't have Proportional Representation. My constituency ended up with the Conservative by 2,000 votes from the labour party.

Thats all for now on this subject...
