The Plebs at Number 10

Right. Have done the voting thing today, eschewing maverick voting for the Liberal Democrats. It's just that Nick Clegg and his policies are so sexy.

I am so, so worried for my country. The general prediction is that the Tories are going to win this election. I don't see how that's even palatable when the spectre of Thatcher and the crippled North still looms large in the memories of many.

I was so enraged with Labour and its disgusting tuition fees and the Iraq invasion and all that nonsense that I, like many in the UK, want change. And I did even take a look at the Tories. But it's like they take every single ideal of mine and reverse it.

The Tories want to stop helping families with young children. They want virtual segregation in schools for disabled children. They want to repeal the foxhunting ban. They love hysteria on immigration. They have members with incredibly dubious views on gay and trans people. They want us to distance ourselves from the rest of Europe and become some insignificant, friendless island drifting here alone.

In short, they're a goddamn nightmare. And yet it looks like we British are taking leave of our senses today and committing to the most un-British, un-European Government for a long time. My heart is breaking even as I hope and pray people at those polling stations today vote with their head.

Yes, Labour needs to be taught a very sore lesson. This really isn't the way to go about it; it's a betrayal of our own people.
