Like everyone else in the country, we’re sorting through the election flyers clogging up our post box. In a way they make a nice change from the bills but the new policies and general biographies of the candidates mostly feel rehashed and stale.

It’s also in my mind that these local and MEP elections are just a warm-up for the main event — I reckon a general election could be called pretty soon.
