While the world is going to hell in a handbasket, we have politicians who are seemingly focused on their own agendas and in the US, polling numbers!!!

In the states they happen on a regular cycle, but calling one off-cycle is unheard of. I understand May's gamble that the conservatives will solidify their control, but yeah -- given the unreliability of polls in recent elections worldwide, it DOES seem like a bit of a gamble. I certainly sympathize more with Labour but I think Corbyn has provided lousy leadership. I've decided I'm a Lib Dem at heart. But I can't vote yet, so it's all academic. :)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-46233825888792583722017-04-23T09:29:39.938+01:002017-04-23T09:29:39.938+01:00Good to see you blogging again, Cuban.

I voted to remain and still think it would have been safer to do so. Right now I'm busy trying to decide who should be the Mayor of my area, something I find even worse than Parliamentary matters.

Like you, I held my head in my hands when she announced an election (having insisted she wouldn't) - but she's not a natural campaigner and Jeremy Corbyn is, even if his party is all over the place at the moment. I have to hope that she'll not get the landslide she's expecting - heaven help us all if she does.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-14746343828219268532017-04-23T04:22:06.361+01:002017-04-23T04:22:06.361+01:00The nature of politics and politicians in England ...The nature of politics and politicians in England keeps me walking slowly at the rear of the pack, trying only to catch an occasional glimpse of what is happening up toward the front and to gauge what the trends happen to be at any given moment.
