Blair to call May 5 election [via Top News Article | Reuters.co.uk]
I don't vote, never have in the past, usually they are all as bad as each other but this time one candidate has put himself out as worse than the others. So maintaining that they are all as bad as each other, except one, I shall stick a pin amongst the other choices (it doesn't much matter round where I live, the Conservatives will win here) but for once I shall have a vote counted in the national totals and it will be counted not Blair. Its a shame that fine MPs such as Peter Kilfoyle (who has never knowingly appeased anyone other than Mrs Kilfoyle, and that didn't work - from his Iraq Debate contribution) get lumped in with Blair but that is the way the system is/has become. As I was told many times, it is not the place of enquiries to cause Prime Ministers to quit, whatever they may have done, only the electorate can do it. I've had enough of the death and destruction and "the Christian virtue of war" (link to Times Online article).
