Martin Bartos' start in politics

12 Jun 2004

For those not paying attention (ie. everybody outside the UK, and most of those inside), there were elections in Britain this week. For local councils, the European Parliament, that sort of thing. Labour did rather badly; so did democracy in general, given the appalling turn-out.

Standing as Scottish Green Party third candidate in the European bit (ie. far enough down not to have to worry) was Martin. He's just sent me a link to a lovely story from Glasgwegian thunderer The Herald. Poor sod.

Obligatory political blog entry plug: TheyWorkForYou.com. Stop whining and find out what's actually going on.
