The General Election 2010

[strange_raptors]

My voting strategy can be summed up fairly succinctly: block the Tories from getting back into power. 

It's not a sophisticated strategy, and I feel sad that the first general election I've been allowed to vote in (stupid late May birthdays) is one where I feel so disillusioned by all the parties. I'm not voting for parties, I'm voting against them. So, for a bit of catharsis (so that I don't accidentally throw away my vote when I get into the polling booth), I've created this vid. 

I call it a vid ... it's more a series of photos, done to the same song that that excellent Merlin vid was done to (Sink or Swim by Tyrone Wells). This is my first vid, and I know it's not great. Apologies for the cast being all white men ... 

My first vid.

I found that vid incredibly moving and insightful. I think you've really captured the utter frustration and exhaustion that we feel when thinking about the coming election.

(And, like, I'm not just saying this. I clicked the link expecting to nod my agreement and move on, but instead I think, yes, you've really hit the nail on the head.)

Thank you, that really means a lot to me.

(With this experience under my belt, surely I will now finish the "Angel's dark side" vid! Surely!)
