I’ve been to vote. It isn’t too hard for me to know how to make my mind up – I’m a member of a political party and stood as a candidate at the last General Election. Indeed, if anything, it feels rather odd not to be standing this time around.
The papers here are being counted electronically, which is rather worrying. I don’t know how anyone can check that the count is fair. The scrutiny of the count used to be so intense, now I’ve no idea what happens. Do people just look on as the papers are fed into a machine?
Give me bits of paper, pencils and a bunch of people counting on tables any day.
