I feel John Snow is right, so much has changed that this election felt like no other. My timeline this evening has been full of many friends (on all sides of the political divide) trying to get out the voters. I have never missed a vote but if I wasn’t a Political nerd I can’t say anything that has happened on the election trail would have excited me to get out and vote other than the need to stop racist and xenophobic parties like UKIP doing well in the Ballot box.
Everything seems to have changed. Like John Snow I can’t see a way back to the old days of political engagement.
What depresses me most though will be the non stop coverage of UKIP & Farage right up to polling day as the media love to create an ongoing story and narrative. They take great joy from seeing the soap opera taking place in our electoral system. I am depressed by the 2015 campaign already!
