My wife and I have been up to the local community centre and scribed our X’s.

Mind you, we could be voting for almost anything and anyone since we seem to be in a canvassing wilderness. Our house is occupied pretty much seven days a week yet nobody has managed to catch us in. Nobody has tried to secure our votes for the local elections. I don’t believe we have had any pamphlets dropped through our letter box.

And as for the “Alternative Vote”, well its a similar thing. If I hadn’t taken the time to look this up on the web I wouldn’t be any the wiser. My wife didn’t even know that we were being ask to make such a momentous decision. I believe that the government has actually failed to make it clear to the country as a whole what the voting options are really about. Apparently we should have had a booklet explaining the Alternative Vote and how it works. But no, nothing, nada, not a thing.

Seems to me the more we become connected the less we get to know.
