elections

Am so tired; haven't been to bed since Wednesday night, but am alert enough to be unimpressed with the election results. Labour didn't do as bad as they could have, but they didn't do well. And Cameron's Conservatives did make lots of gains, yes, but they've also sold out. And considering the state of this government, they should have done better.

Am disappointed by the UKIP results in Wales: the BNP did too well, sadly, and ruined our chances of getting a list seat in North Wales. However, there were seats we stood in for the first time where we secured some respectable results: Bruce Lawson scored 10.1% in Montgomeryshire, to name one. The party has also secured some new council seats and some very good places with high percentages, which means we are building up a good local network in places in the country.

I think the thing which stands out about all of this, though, is the bloody shambles of the Scottish votes. How can they have independence when they can't even get ballot boxes to the mainland?
