So glad...
May. 3rd, 2012 04:13 pm... I read the local news before I went to vote.
I was planning to vote Green. I shan't vote Green locally again.
When the sitting (so there's no way of dislodging him until he comes up for re-election) Green councillor swaps sides on polling day (to Labour, but it would be just as bad wherever he went) because he "wanted to be part of a bigger party that has real power to make a difference for people" to further his political career, I'm not voting for the Green candidate who's another young white man very likely on the political make.
Oops, that rules out all the candidates in my ward.
Oh well, back to the blank protest vote.
(I'm really going to miss Margaret Wright.)
(I wonder how many folk will react similarly and switch from Green.)
