Vote

Democracy, it’s pretty good idea don’t you think?
If you’re in London you’ve got until 10 o’clock to express your view on who ought to run our city’s government.

I voted by postal vote this year, and I have to confess it feels weird and alienating not being part of the voting masses. I always like feeling part of a collective on election day, especially as it is usually sunny. I notice it is all the old people who seem to be at the polling station the same time as me, whatever time I vote - the old, mostly white working class people. Not sure what that means.
You are getting old?
How did Labour actually go in your neck of the woods, Andrew?
Don’t know yet James. Which is probably as good as it’ll get.
Bob when i voted at 8 in the evening ther was a real mixture, like i have never seen before when voting. Which i think is great as it shows people are taking the state were in seriously enough to go and and vote for who they think could make it better.
Not this borough but I see former Lewisham Mayoral candidate James Ceverly came first in Bexley and Bromley with 51% of the votes.
