Let’s see how late I can stay up to follow the election results, or if I say fuckit and tap out at half past midnight.
I am, frankly, without enthusiasm. I am not a Conservative voter, but I don’t recognise whatever the opposition is as the Labour Party. The polls indicate a historic landslide that pretty much destroys the Tories to the point where they may not even be the official opposition.
I’ve lived through a couple of “change” elections. Despite the expected rout, it doesn’t feel like one of them. Change isn’t what’s on offer. At best, a roll back to John Major Nineties is what it feels like. That’s a bit unfair, considering the freaks and geeks that populated his final cabinets. But I’m not inspired.
No exit polling at my voting station. They tend not to bother around here. Generally, the Tories activate all the old people’s homes and they all roll out to vote for Churchill.
Let’s see if I leave this post up in the morning. I just got a cover in the email for approval and it’s glorious. Maybe I’ll just work and sleep, like any other day.
