British political question
May. 13th, 2010 09:52 amI'd been planning to go on the electoral reform demo in London this Saturday, but...
Now that the Lib-Con coalition is real and setting out policies, it looks to me as though they're already promising all we could reasonably expect re voting reform. So if they're already saying the right things, and it's too early to judge them on what they do, then what would the demo be meant to achieve?
Does this mean I can stay at home after all? Or am I just finding excuses because I could really, really use a quiet weekend?
Thoughts please!
But just on pointfulness or otherwise of the demo, please, and whether you're going. I don't have the time or energy to get into what we all think about the not-so-shiny new government today.)

The school phoned at 10.15. Spider has come down with a stomach lurgy. He's at home now, looking pale and feeling terrible. Quiet weekend it is, then. But I'd still like to hear what others are thinking/doing.
