Voting done, voting still open

A big thank you to Iain Dale’s readers for his 2008 political poll where, whilst I trail Vince Cable miserably (and rightly), I am a) in the frame and b) second! as Lib Dem MP of the Year! Thus I continue my saga of always the bridesmaid but never the bride! I also notice that his magazine Total Politics has me as one to watch – and that’s what my teachers used to say – ‘ better keep a close eye on her’ – although I think their meaning may have been different…

On my own side – I likewise see (thanks to those who have brought it to my notice) that in the Liberal Democrat Voice poll I again am trailing Vince! Well – the man is a star and being even near licking distance of boots is honour enough! But there is still time for you to vote…

As your constituent from N22, I can honestly say that as an MP you rank highly. However what hope have we left in the political system as it stands?

Thanks Henry!Our political and electoral systems make improvement harder than they should be – but not impossible! Even in its current state, our Parliament passed useful measures – like on climate change and the Sustainable Communities bill (which potentially gives huge powers to people). With enough nagging we can change things.
