Its voting day today which of course is very exciting. I'll be putting my cross in the box later on, hoping I will remember to go. Not that it make any difference in my constituency which has been bright Tory blue since time began so can't see it changing. It has the occasional few protest votes going to the greens and that's about it.
As for the bigger national picture, Mrs. May appeared to be coasting, but then she made a couple of errors with manifesto announcements followed by a good showing from Mr. Corbyn on the campaign trail and has never really got her mojo back. The polls still show her with a healthy lead but nowhere near what she had a few weeks back so it will be interesting to see how it goes.
I'm not a big fan of Mr. Corbyn with his idealistic policies cut and pasted from the 70s, but the main thing is that all his ideas rely on spending money, money that we haven't necessarily got. How he squares that one I don't really know, but rest assured I'm sure it will not be successful without a great deal of pain somewhere.
