Today is general election day.
The sun must
Rise on Johnson or Corbyn.
Soon, manifestos will gather dust,
Or be re-read with a cynical grin
By people who will say,
“You promised such and such
On election day”.
Then, in disgust
They will throw the thing away.
Oh the joy
For girl and boy
Of yet, another, election day!

It’s going to be a long night!
Indeed it will, Eric. The reports I’ve read thus far indicate that its a huge turn-out which is, of course good for democracy. I voted by post several weeks ago, now its a case of waiting for the result. Thanks for commenting. Best, Kevin
Just got back from voting this evening (waited for the rain to stop!) and for the first time ever in 44 years of marriage my wife and I are in agreement and not cancelled each others votes out! All the best to you too, Kevin.
I’m glad you voted Eric, and that you avoided the rain. That is an impressive period of time to be married for – my congratulations on your long marriage! I was interested to hear that you and your wife voted differently until yesterday. I stayed up until around 1:30 am listening to the results come in. All the best, Kevin
I ended up doing two shifts – one staying up till 12:30 then as nature called at 3.30 am couldn’t resist seeing how the results were going on stayed up till 7 am – can barely keep my eyes open now! My wife slept right through!
Hope you have a good nights sleep on going to bed this evening, Eric! I awoke at about 7:20 and started listening again and have just heard the coverage on Radio 4’s “The World at 1”. Best, Kevin
