See you all a long while later.
Too much to do in the garden and life for the next few weeks.
edited to add: Am plucking up the courage to do phone canvassing.
I still believe Labour could win a small majority and not have to make deals with nationalists.
Let's hope I'm right.
I despised that their activists use fear and intimidation to try to force their view of the world on everyone else.
I despise that whilst pretending to want an end to austerity they have not used the tax raising power they do have to put a brake on austerity in Scotland, and have encouraged Local Authority's to run up debt to a frightening degree. Over 6k per person in Scotland to English and Welsh 3k & 2k. How are they going to pay for that whilst running away from "austerity"?
It's not left wing to want to lower corporation tax to poach businesses from other parts of the UK.
Their manifesto is a pale copy of Labour's, yet is heralded as though is the new bible for anti-austerity!
I despise Nicola Sturgeon's arrogance in claiming "she" will keep Ed Miliband to the left - cheeky mare! - as we say round here.
So if we are now to add SNP to the list of to Holier-Than-Thou-not-to-be-criticised I think it's time for me to spend more time in the garden with yahyah for a little while.
I'll say no more about them other than I sincerely hope they play no part in government, other than run their own Scottish one.
Here's to a resounding Labour Majority.

If you scroll down to the bottom, there's one of those "which party do I belong to?" quizzes. Seems I should be voting Green!
