Got a phone call today from some lady from the Labour party. Just a few questions... Who did I intend to vote for in the next election. Who did I vote for in the last election. All that kind of thing.
Nice lady. Very civil phone call. I answered honestly that I intended to either spoil my ballot paper or vote green, that I'd voted labour in '97 etc.
But after the questions, she came off script and opened her heart a bit. I can't remember exactly what she said, but she sounded really tired and disillusioned. I felt sorry for her really. Just some grass roots party member, who's probably getting shouted at hundreds of times a day.
