Vote!

Remember the people who said that the Democrats and the Republicans were as bad as each other and it made no difference whether Al Gore or George W Bush won the election? I do, I was one of those people.

I understand if someone else is your first preference, but please put Ken Livingstone second. The bookies are now giving something like 4:1 odds against a Livingstone victory. I can't stand the thought that Britain is turning into the sort of place that elects celebrities instead of politicians - we've seen how that works out in the USA too.
