Supersize Polling Cards

[muninnhuginn]

Inflation--like that in the bulk of the paperwork associated with bank accounts, phone bills, and so forth--has occurred. My polling card is bigger. Inconveniently so: it won't easily fit into my handbag (deliberately kept small to avoid strain on hands and shoulders). Fine, so I won't take it to the polling station (makes it easier to escape the nosy vultures (no offence to any of my flist who might be doing a stint!) outside). But, not only is the thing bigger, it's in two colours. Now were this doing anything useful, I'd be fine with this too. But it seems simply to be providing a nice purple background and not a means to greater legibility. How much extra has this cost, I wonder.
