All the political parties you folk have sounds like a good idea, We try to shoehorn everyone into two parties, each a broad church full of internal dissent. I have traveled the whole gamut of The Left myself. Gone from Bolshie to Democratic Socialist to Center Left. I cannot travel any farther.

I lunch with the center Democrats now.

The problem we have is that it's "first past the post" so other than at local level, a lot of the smaller parties don't have overly much of a voice. The make-up of parliament would be somewhat different if representational were proportional - although perhaps not massively so. It's not a perfect system, but it's worked well enough, I guess.

The Conservatives and Labour are quite broad churches, but nothing like your Republicans and Democrats. here there are enough other factions nicking votes from the edges of both to keep everyone on their toes. Although my impression of American politics is that the playing field is skewed decidedly further to the right than it is here.

Well the kettle is on

Milky grey with small amount of blue sky and dry.
First cuppa is ready for consumption

First cuppa went down well despite being a bit more milky than normal, must have a word with the person that made it...

Morning .
There is quite a lot of cloud about this morning with holes in with blue sky showing through.
Our chipped cat has nicked my seat on the settee! Since we've been back he seems to want to sleep where he can smell our scent.

I'm going to ride my bicycle & eat cake today.
Calorie neutral methinks 😉

We've recently come back from Cornwall and I can't remember coming across any pot holes in the road ! We went down to Falmouth and Penzance area. Once we entered Devon pot holes appeared!

Thanks Jasper Conman! I have just been fighting a duvet!
"We don't do duvets !"
The damn thing wouldn't go back into it's cage! I would rather wrestle with a giant octopus than try and get one back into it's cage !

I feel your pain.
