		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m a political-geek, and that I spend much of my free time reading up on the latest political developments, or even writing about my take on things. Or maybe there is an element of truth to my impression that the political debate that is going on around the Scottish elections is really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readers of my various posts over the course of the recent general election will have realised that I&#8217;m a proponent of electoral reform in this country. Therefore, I&#8217;m very pleased to see the campaign launched by The Independent has attracted some serious attention See the makemyvoutecount.org.uk website too

The most senior politician of all, Tony Blair, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Martin has been re-elected the speaker of the house of commons. Whilst I&#8217;m sure from his record that Mr Martin is an excellent choice for this role, I feel that his Glasgow North East constituents (and those of other speakers before him) are terribly let down by this process.

The reason is that the main [...]]]></description>

All this and more, you lucky, lucky people&#8230;



Northern Ireland

		<description><![CDATA[Interim results from the General Election are available for download from the Electoral Commission and there are some interesting results, seemingly including the Veritas candidate (Kenneth Haigh) in the City of Chester receiving zero votes. Whoops!

It&#8217;s a superb resource, and will no doubt provoke some interesting home grown analysis. Via Madmusingsof.me.uk

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s all over. No huge surprise in the actual result. A Labour majority of 66, exactly what the BBC forecast in their exit poll. Was that a first? It&#8217;ll certainly mean politicians next time will be less able to avoid theorising about the forthcoming result!

I stayed up to the glorious time of 5am (and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Roger Darlington makes excellent points as to why it&#8217;s important to vote tomorrow. I&#8217;m certainly somewhat cynical in this safe Labour seat that my vote will make much difference but I will remain optimistic that enough others share my opinion. As Roger points out, it&#8217;s a civic duty to be involved in the process by [...]]]></description>
