I don't think I've ever felt in such despair over a General Election. Even worse is that if too many decide that it's all a waste of time it leaves the door open for some minority group to edge their way in. As a British nation we've lost moral fibre, other nationalities living here who are eligible to vote (yes they are british too) seem to have a clear collective belief.

Today I had a hospital appointment (well done for being there on a Bank Holiday) and I was seen to by a pleasant chap from that country west of India, who, when it came up in conversation that I was seeing my GP on Election Day could not understand why it wasn't a National holiday so that everyone would be encouraged to vote. I'd vote for him
