pebblerockerI met my local MP today, when he stopped his (large, four-wheel-drive, shiny) car to ask me for directions. After I'd told him how to get to the primary school he gave me his card, you know, a bit of self-promotion while he had me there. I'm not going to vote for him and it won't make any difference -- my electorate is a safe National seat so he's just about guaranteed to get back in.
I've checked on the elections site and found out who the other candidates are to choose from. Leaving it a bit late, election is on the 26th, but there's time to get the hang of things. The only candidate I knew about until now, other than the current guy, was the Labour one whose hoarding down the road has had a moustache drawn on it. I'm sure the addition was not politically motivated, it'll just be "oh, a sign with no graffiti!", the urge to scribble on things, but whatever the motivation, the attempt to deface the hoarding has actually improved it. They've given her a Charles I-style perky job and she looks super-snazzy with a moustache!
