The Election

Hello dear friends. First of all, thank you all for the comments on the previous post. I will post Nancy's letters on the blog, starting next week.

I was off and followed the Election Day in the UK. What a fun day that was. I realise it's one of those days that can change the world, let alone our lives here in Britain, but after following all the debates and news headlines, it was fun to see it all come down to this one day, where those who can be bothered left their house to their nearest polling station to cast a vote on some clown who will now rule the country. I went out and voted, early, to avoid big queues. The service on my local station was slow, so I imagine anyone who arrived in the evening had to endure long queues and even the disappointment of not voting.

The wait for the final tally was even more exciting, with news channels and most of terrestrial TV taken over by it.

After all that, we still didn't have a new Prime Minister and Gordon Brown was still the Prime Minister until further notice, or until the next election.

So, after many closed door meetings and vague TV appearances, Mr David Cameron is our new Prime Minister, with Mr Nick Clegg as his Deputy.

It’s certainly an exciting new time and I hope that all the promises that never become reality will not be totally forgotten and we will see some improvement on our economy and the mess the country was headed into. I can say that London at least needs a hell of a clean up, so I hope Mr. Cameron is up to the challenge and will deliver it.

OK, I got that off my chest. I hope this will be my last post with politics on it.

Keep an eye on this blog next Monday for another Letter From Ipswich.

Like a politician, I promise not to delay any more posts.

Let's see how I manage to keep my promise to my readers.

Until then.

Love,

Miles.
