Well, I was happy to see the Article in the Independent about Sarah Lucas making her maiden speech in Parliament.
The election forced me to look very hard at the various parties and Green was my choice.
While not happy about their policies on drug use, the balance of the rest appeared to meet some of my aspirations for Social Justice and in particular the environment.
So, I backed my view and voted Green. I have also opted to put my money where my mouth is and have joined the Party as a supporter.
For someone who was brought up labour, converted to Tory while serving, back to labour, I have perhaps for the first time made a decision on politics that makes sense to me, if not to anyone else.
I am pleased that my spouse agreed and also went Green.
Just this morning, while reading our local newspaper, the question occurred to me... I wonder what correlation there might be between reading the newspaper and rates of depression? By far most of the headlines are on subjects hardly uplifting, and run counter to the wisdom of Philippians 4:8.
