Well that was a pretty crappy election.

I mean, not that I hope high hopes or anything, and elections the world over on the whole tend to be fairly crap most of the time, but still y’know, not much change, not much of interest, and things just vaguely erring toward the direction of ‘bad’.

Certainly pretty lame-ass results in the constituencies I have a particular interest in;
My previously jolly, Lib Dem held Leicester abode seems to have actually been won back by Labour (what the fuck?!), whilst my boring old ancestral home of Pembrokeshire South has predictably remained Labour (seems there was a fairly small majority for a safe seat, though obviously it’s a sparsely populated county, so I dunno how many people voted, and I dunno who came second either..), whilst North Pembrokeshire has only gone and bloody made itself Tory, thus eliminating Wales’ previous proud claim of returning no Conservative MPs.

A brief look at the Election map on the Guardian website proves pretty depressing… I know that a map view isn’t really at all accurate, given the Tories popularity in the larger, rural constituencies and Labour’s base of urban support and all, but still… the South and Midlands have started to look like a few red and yellow islands drowning in a big, blue sea. Bummer.

Oh, Lib Dems, you had such a chance here – all you had to do was get off your bloody asses and do something interesting to get peoples attention and you could have got the fucking engine running, but no, same boring old crap, same boring old result. Be nice to have a new party of opposition some time this CENTURY, you lazy bastards…?


BUT ANYWAY, enough of that.

I'll post my ATP Sunday review this afternoon.
