Election nonsense
I have been thinking about all of the goings on in Parliament lately. It seems to be that the opposition parties are pushing for an election. Now I do not claim to know much about politics, but I do not want to go back to the polls after only 1 year just because Stephen Harper smells blood in the water.
I am no fan of the Tories, but I do usually vote for Chilliwack's Tory MP because he's not such a bad sort and appears to have some brains in his head. I live in a conservative town and he is going to win any election that happens around here, no matter which way I vote. However, if I am forced to vote in another federal election so close to the last one, I am going to vote for Chilliwack's Liberal candidate out of spite.
Yes I know that is small and petty of me. I am not looking at the big picture, yada, yada. I don't care. Last year's election messed up the date of my daughter's Kindergarten grad because her school gym was a polling place. Oh boo hoo, you say? I happen to think that my daughter is more important and more intelligent than all the empty-headed, posturing, my-way-or-the-highway politicians in Ottawa, put together!
