A great start to Labour's 3rd term
Here are the results for Cambridge, Anne Campbell lost her seat to the Liberal Democrats, I feel a little guilty for not supporting her, (especially as when they came round at the beginning of the campaign I told them I was going to vote Labour, a girl can change her mind right?) but I don't regret my decision. If she was in the room right now I'd happily explain myself pretty much the same way I did in my blog. As you can see Greens did reasonably well here but their result was still down on last time.
Overall the Liberal Democrats didn't do as well as I hoped and I am slightly disappionted with some of the Tory gains. Paticularly in Putney where the parents in law live.
There is a split in the PE household. This is the first election where we voted differently, but let's just say that Mr. PE's party didn't win here either.
I made it to 2:15am saw the BNP get a disgusting 2,263 votes in Blackburn and went to bed.
I have been getting up at 6:15am to get a bit of work in before the rest of the house wakes up. When my alarm went off this morning I did consider going back to sleep but I had to be brave, especially as I didn't finish Middlemarch last night. Dragged myself into the kitchen and didn't even get a chance to put the kettle on as the cat had brought an enormous mangled blackbird in, it flapped behind the washing machine and died. So there I was at 6:15 dragging out the kitchen appliances and cleaning feathers off the floor. All before my first coffee of the day.. I also screamed so hard that I woke the kid up, which defeated the purpose of getting up so early in the first place.
I'm begining to wonder if Anne Campbell has a direct line to the Almighty.
