Eve of Poll Card

Whatever happened to eve of poll cards?

Anyway, Pat Glass is the only candidate here who is opposed to assisted suicide. I shall be voting for her. I urge you to do likewise.

The parties have all but bankrupted themselves on a campaign that has not shifted the polls one iota.

The Election might as well have been held at Christmas, when there would have been the same result as we shall see on Friday.

Since David Cameron intends to squat until forced to leave, we have probably seen the last ever eviction of a Prime Minister from Downing Street on the afternoon following a General Election.

That occurred on 2nd May 1997. There are people who will have the vote tomorrow and who were not born on 2nd May 1997.

The unions are already muttering against Proportional Representation, of which they are the most implacable opponents in the body politic.

But a second hung Parliament would be the end of First Past The Post. There would be no saving it after that. For good or ill, but there we are.

The argument that it gave the electorate the opportunity to give a Prime Minister his cards on the spot would be dead.

Already, that has not happened in an electoral generation, although the Prime Minister has changed twice in that period.

By the next General Election, it will not have happened in the lifetimes of many thousands of mortgage-holding graduates with children of their own.

Perhaps everyone who wanted to save First Past The Post ought to vote Labour, the only party with even an outside chance of winning this Election, and the one that is funded by First Past The Post's most vigorous defenders?

A Labour or Labour-led Government would end the 40-year occupation of this country by its de facto Head of State, Rupert Murdoch.

His banishment by Ed Miliband will be the greatest blow for our liberty and democracy in 70 years to the month. To the day, in terms of the announcement of the result.

And Pat Glass is the only candidate here who is opposed to assisted suicide. I shall be voting for her. I urge you to do likewise.
