I started this blog on May 5th 2010, one day before the election. I feared the Tories would come to power and I wanted to track what this would mean for the ordinary people on the street. Unexpectedly the result of the election has made me actively involved in politics and I am now becoming increasingly active in my local Labour Party with ambitious plans to do more. I am working, with a 9 month old baby but I intend to keep this blog as up to date as possible. Any comments welcome!

Polling Day
Just spent the morning at the polling station, quite a convivial atmosphere and a seemingly good turnout. Uplifting to see representation from so many different parts of the community here (Tooting) and so many elderly people - makes you think about how many elections they have taken part in - are they as cynical as my generation? Lots of interesting comment and banter on Facebook and Twitter and genuine engagement from my peers at least. This is a verbatim comment from a 20-something lad on FB though 'sack votin they say they'll do all this n never do any of it' . Hmmm.
