OK, so I got my postal vote forms in the mail today.
What fun.
No, really. It is so much fun.
How the f**k am I supposed to vote for someone, when I haven't heard a single thing from any of the candidates...
...except for the BNP one that is?
Well. At least I am officially a grown-up now. I better go research these morons and see if I can be bothered to vote for anyone aside from the Lib. Dems.

Another case of my mother running my life without my prior consent. She went and made the decision for me. 
But heck, it's easier than having to get up early on the actual day...
Problem is, there is no one worth voting for.

I'm not a moron! Spoiling votes when there is a BNP candidate up in the running has to be the thickest method of exercising the ability to vote...especially when it is my FIRST chance at voting.

If you've got a BNP candidate I'd vote for whoever is most likely to get in on the grounds that you want to keep them out. But that's me - you have to decide to either vote for the one you want most, or against the one you want least.
Vote early, vote often - that's the best advice.

You dont need to get up early to vote
But on my last paper I wrote across the top:
'If a candidate were standing I would vote for the LCA'
And the LCA is?
The Legalise Cannabis Alliance...

I tend to vote for the best of a bad bunch... last time that was Lib Dem this time I'm going to have to forgive myself for voting conservative

Well this time around the pro-active scum have started their own political organisation called the "Bristolians" which is essentially another BNP...
So I have no idea. I suppose the Lib Dems get one more vote this year then...
I just wish the candidates would bother canvassing. I don't know any of the names on the form.

The Bristolians aint the BNP, not from their literature I've read, they're locals for taking the council out of party political control...

I took a look at their site earlier. They are in no way prepared to run the city. They are *like* the BNP in that they think their interests are everyones interests...more than likely because the candidate they have is based in Knowle-West, which is, of course, the only *real* part of Bristol ...I wouldn't vote for them if I was hit with a stupid stick.
