Now it gets unpredictable

The election is on Thursday. It seems to have been ages since I was selected. I half wonder if we should have ignored it until this week – as most voters probably have.

Anyway, this is the exciting bit. So far, everything in the campaign has been in my control. Now it’s up to the voters.

And after that, there’s the count. I’ve never been to one before – certain TV images, like the Portillo defeat in Enfield Southgate, come to mind – I’m really looking forward to it, although I suspect it won’t be quite as memorable. And there’ll be fewer cameras.
