Election Fever hits Clunbury

The events in Westminster seem so far removed from life in Clunbury. The comings and goings of MPs, the cabinet reshuffle, does it really involve us in our own little world of cows, sheep and baby foxes. Sadly it does and will do in the future. Personally I think Gordon Brown should dissolve Parliament, call a General Election and let the people have their say. If he does or not remains to be seen but I won’t hold my breath.

In the meantime though, we had our own little bit of excitement in Clunbury on Thursday when election fever hit the village. Okay so I’m exaggerating, it wasn’t a fever, not even a slightly raised temperature but we went out and did our bit. When I went down to vote the polling station was quieter than a church after a funeral. The two guys sitting there looked as if I’d woken them up but they still managed a smile. Things did pick up when Chris and Dan went down to vote though and our County Councillor was returned to the Council Chambers.

Now we wait for the European results, will they reflect the mood of the country, we shall see?

    Did my vote by post! So no idea what it was like down out polling station. There was probably a passing tumble weed or two!

    Julie there was probably more going on at your local polling station than mine but mine definitely had the better views, scenery wise at least.

    Steve did a postal vote I did my bit and visited the polling station. They had had a larger turnout than normal.

    Wonder what will happen if a general election is called or whether apathy will set in as everyone is so fed up.

    Will be interesting to see what happens.

    Best wishes
