Well it is Election Day tomorrow. Bearing in mind it might rain, which means a low turnout as some people hate getting wet, it could be a close contest all round. Still you can get a cup of tea and coffee and a natter when you go, so worth going if just for the gossip and there must be plenty of that around.
Personally I find it a bit sad that some residents resort to these kind of tactics. You expect it in a General Election, too much to lose, big salaries, expenses and all that, but in a little village election it is just not on. I anticipate some fall out from all this in the near future, which should provide interesting gossip.
In the meantime I hear there is betting on as to who will get the most votes. Not sure who is running the book or what the odds are but I know who my money would be on. I'll just have to wait and see whether I'm right.
There is one thing, have you seen any candidates round the village for the District Council Elections, other than Hazel Brand, because I haven't. They want our vote, they shut get their backsides into the village and if they don't well...........
Well, whatever the outcome of the District Council election, you've got to hand it to the Keep Misterton A Village candidates. To attempt to spike Cllr. Brand's bid for re-election by their disgraceful conduct - in a parish council manifesto - was a cunning move in the extreme.
