democracy

This is depressing; they couldn't find enough volunteers to count the votes in the Norwich North by-election on the night. What's especially worrying is that it's one of those assumptions that you never think about - a sort of minimum of commitment to the special importance of voting. And it's being eroded, just as the police are gradually making their uniforms more militaristic, having been originally designed to be specifically civilian.

Meanwhile, people like James Purnell get Ernst & Young in to make people change GP more often.
