Election 05

Welcome to my new blog. A little about me and the reason for the new blog; I work in politics (I can hear the booing and hissing!) in a campaign group called Operation Black Vote (click here to read more about OBV). I work on their education project Understanding Power but like everyone at OBV I keep up to date on various political happenings in both Westminster and at a grassroots community level.

The UK General Election at the time of writing is set forth May 5^th but rumour has it that it will be earlier much earlier (two dates are circling at present April 21^st but just come out is April 14^th). My life is about to get insanely busy! That means I need a place to let off steam (i.e. rant), spread a little rumour and maybe even let a few secrets slip. I figure a blog is the way to go.

So...only a few weeks to go before Britains press/media throws itself into the political storm ahead and the country decides which bunch of (add your own expletives here) get elected.
