The Pinboard

Well, well, well. Well, well, well! Mock elections, eh? Shame they don't represent the real thing. Strange, how they create such tight microcosms of the real thing. Just 1000 votes, and five parties. It doesn't take much, you just need to win the hearts and minds of the young voters and you've got a good chance of swinging it. If only they told the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates that. Bless them. They seem to think that offering eleven year-olds shorter NHS waiting lists will get their vote. Unfortunately the more excessively-tilting Communist and Green parties are creating a commotion in a slightly more lively way - rousing speeches, informed meetings. They're playing to the audience, not the voter, inside us all. And they're going to win, no doubt. I've written a short article about the elections. The Apathy campaign, in particular, has made me wonder about how the world (and the mock election) works. It'll probably get published sometime this week. Mock elections, eh? Shame they don't represent the real thing. Shame they didn't tell Mark Gilbert that. Site Of The Week Ctrl-Alt-Del - I know I probably praise this site too much, but this really is one of the sharpest, funniest cartoons on the net. A gamer will get most out of this, but most of the time it works on a lot of levels. Really good stuff.

"Yesterday we bowed for kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today, we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love."
