Missed

Looking at the ballot papers yesterday what really amazed me was how many different names there were to put my cross against. Not amazed because it showed that politics was alive and well. No, I was amazed because none of them, not one, had knocked on our door to tell us what they stood for. And if you don't tell people what you stand for then how on earth do you expect to get a vote. For all I know some of the small groups may have had some good points, I may have felt that they deserve a voice. But if I don't know what their platform is then I am not going to stop my train there.
