[Margaret Pilkington]

Today my daughter has been lecturing me on the reasons to vote....and telling me that voting with a hat pin is not good enough, neither, she tells me, is voting for all the candidates on the paper.

I am just so very disillusioned with politicians, the parties(all of them) and their total disregard for the populace when we were all going through a bad time(but, not them...they were living high on the hog and hoping that we would never find out).

They promise us anything to get into parliament......and they take us for mugs because we believed them.

We are in an unholy mess, and there isn't one of them who i would trust to pour gravy, never mind get us out of the mire.
So Hatpin it is then!
