Day Jar View

Turned out my short nap in the afternoon yesterday gave me enough in the tank to make it through to 2.30am this morning. Although, even without that kip, I’m pretty sure I could have made it anyway, as it was pretty compelling stuff.

I don’t know what it says about a person that they can stay awake for 4.5 hours of pundits punditing, graphics spinning, and newsreel repeating, but can’t stay awake to watch the first episode of Dexter Season 4, but no matter: it was great stuff.

This morning, instead of rolling back into bed when the kids were in nursery, I put the TV on and it’s got even more interesting. Brown appears to be getting sandbagged by the other two. Clegg has said it is up to the Tories to form a stable government as the largest party, but Labour have said it is up to them.

If Clegg won’t talk to Brown, can he stay? Cameron is making a statement at 2.30pm, so we’ll know then what he’s got planned.

Vote at 7.50am this morning, and there were a few people on their way in and out. Desperate to get rid of this Labour government hopefully.

I took a few surveys this week, where you choose whether you agree or disagree (or don’t care) about a series of statements, and then it tells you which party you are the closest to in percentage terms. You can exclude certain parties, presumably so that you don’t have a heart attack when you realise that what you thought were your liberal views are, in fact, those of Nick Griffin himself.

In the end, it turned out I was 53% Lib Dem, so that’s what I did. It is true that the Conservatives have no chance in this area, but I felt good about putting my cross next to May, as it will serve two purposes: Lib dems in, and Labour out nationally, with any luck.
