General Election 2005
I rather enjoyed the Portillo programme last night. I thought it somewhat conflated the twin difficulties of being a parent and being poor, but Portillo came out of it well.Thus the moment you have all been waiting for -- will I vote for him in GE2004 (assuming it is in 2004)?
Obviously as a member of the Conservative Party I want the party's official candidate to win. But luckily as Portillo will win by a large majority whatever I do it doesn't matter if I vote for someone else. Such are the delights of the First Past the Post system.
So I'm going to vote for someone else. Unless I change my mind.
