It will all be over in a few hours. Life will return to normal. The news headlines will start to remember the rest of the world, we will stop seeing politicians eating ice creams, kissing babies and meeting people in the streets.

In a few hours the campaigning will end and decisions will be made. I find myself, this time, actually quite concerned. I think people have short memories and idealised unrealistic outlook’s.

Tomorrow I will be voting early as then I have a couple of meetings up in London – up to the favourite location of the Chandos yet again!

David Walker at Thinking Anglicans writes a good outlook of the election process and I quote his last paragraph here:

The point of those caricatures, which I hope you will excuse as the nearest a person who can’t draw can get to a cartoon, is that all three of the main campaigns have their value. But all three remain significantly flawed. And that is exactly as it should be. We should be suspicious of any political organisation that seems too perfect. And we should expect to be governed by people and institutions no less imperfect than ourselves. The choice between the bloke, the official and the evangelist is a real one. And in some ways it’s a deeper choice than between the particular policies and arguments which have so signally and so properly failed to shift our intentions over these last few weeks.

Whatever you do in the UK on 5th May – make sure you get out there and vote if eligible!
