I'm Voting in the Wrong Election

So later today I will exercise my vote. I try and make it the only exercise I do.

I was not doorstepped last night, no more leaflets have arrived at the house and I am none the wiser as to who I will vote for.

My current thinking is confused.

I really wanted to vote on local issues however by doing this I should dismiss the Labour and Lib Dem candidates as I don’t know what they stand for.

However, I do not support the policies of the Conservatives and Green's with any conviction.

I believe that my local council would be best served without a dominant party ( currently 3/4 Conservatives ) and that a broad representation of political views would better serve my community.

I am entertaining a warped standpoint that if a was to vote for the Lib Dems or Labour then there is more chance of them making a better effort next time. It may be possible to stretch this logic so that if the Conservative vote is significantly down then there is a chance of the Government altering course. Clutching at straws probably.

I live in hope that of being engaged at the polling station.

I am of course looking forward to the results especially the national picture.

My predictions :-

Tory vote down big time.

Lib Dems do better than predicted.

Labour do well.

There will be a clear concentration of Tory votes in the south/ south east of the country and the further north you go the less the Tory vote. this will be the most significant aspect of this election in the medium term.

Every party leader will claim to have done well.

Boris will be out but oh so close.

That the French election outcome is in fact much more important to us all in the UK.

Lets see ! Please vote.
