partly political broadcast

It's only three weeks until the General Election. At one level I'm pleased that the British blogs aren't displaying the vitriol of some US blogs I read (not your blog, lovely US reader) as it's nice that our politics aren't quite as vile (remember Swiftboat Vets for Truth, or something similar?), but I wonder if it's because most of us are just a bit apathetic (not you, lovely UK reader). Anyway, I know who I'm voting for and it is a bit of a compromise, but there you go. That's politics, partly.
