I am sooo cross (beware some non-right on ranting ahead). Just put the phone down on my mother. The mother that made us sleep at Greenham Common, who, whatever her (many) faults as a raise of children, still managed to instill proper socialist values in us.
She is bipolar and has been off work for the whole of the Labour government. For all of that time she has been supported by an increasingly generous welfare system, enjoys her free bus pass, winter fuel allowance, better health care etc etc etc. So, in our constituency which has about 1000 votes between Labour and Conservative she has voted .... Lib Dem because she doesn't "like Labour anymore".
I know it is a sign of how tense and anxious I am about tonight, but it has made me seethe. Grrrrrrr
