Election Day

Day 349

06 May 2010

We went to the polls, today, and cast our votes. I don't want Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Erlne-Erle (I'm just an ordinary Dorset man with a mansion and a 7,000 acres garden, yah?) Drax to win the Dorset South seat. He isn't of the ordinary world. He doesn't have a clue what real life is all about. He certainly has no idea about the Purbeck community, mostly because he never comes here (until last week when his billboard land rover turned up in the town and he went on a meet and greet in the street), so why on earth would anyone want him in our seat? Conversely, Jim Knight has made many visits to Swanage, has actively campaigned on issues in the town, and been listening to the residents. Ros Kayes has also been involved and active in the schools campaigns, and other issues in Purbeck.

I am writing this retrospectively, so really this isn't a "live" blog submission. But it is how I felt yesterday, and even more so how I feel today.

Grumph...
