Do you want that? I certainly don't.
I don't want my birthday quicker either - oh - apart from gifts and treats and spoiling for a day! - lest I sound like an ingratiate of daughter
But a 3 day week sounds good!
I am worried about the deluge of mail that has already begun. I have already had about 9 letters, newsletters and general promotional bumf just in the last few days, from the local candidates - and, living in a house with around 15 other transient bedsit-dwellers, I am one of the core few that do check and discard mail where appropriate. In another month's time I may not even be able to get in throught the front door due to the weight of unchecked canvassing mail piling up!
And, perhaps wrongly, I never really read any of mine - a handwritten envelope and promise of saving more kittens in my area is not going to influence my vote... and I don't believe any of the promises anyway.
I think I'll pass on the years going by quicker too. 
As for the junk mail I never read it either. As far as I can see they do a poll to find out what people want and then promise to do that. It never bears any relationship to their actual plans.
In any case I don't think politicians should be offering to do what you want. They should tell you what they want to do and what they believe in and then you decide if that's the person you want in office.
I am sick of the election already.
Can they do a poll and decide that people don't like elections.
Or if we have to have one, it gets announced and then we have it tomorrow and get it over with.
Anyone who hasn't been paying attention for the last 4/5 years doesn't deserve a vote anyway.
I had a phone call from a Labour canvasser this evening. The caller spoke in clear English instead of Hindglish which threw me somewhat and I didn't hang up.
My MP is Roger Berry (Labour) who supports the Hands-Off-Our-Green-Belt protest. Unfortunately when Roger presented a petition to the housing minister last year to stop wholesale house building on our local green belt, the minister said that it's going to happen whether he likes it or not. The meeting was recorded for the local news spot, and I couldn't believe how arrogant the minister was.
So, sorry Roger, you're a good local MP but you're in the wrong party, and that's what I told the canvasser.
Where Creature lives is fairly solid Tory territory. It one of those seats where the boundaries have changed, so the figures in The Times are notional.
Anyway Dr Julian Lewis - tough, right-wing and nasty - got a notional 49% of those voting last time round, so he looks safe to Creature; who at the moment feels like spoiling his ballot paper in protest at the lack of honesty among the main Parties about the spending cuts that are coming.
