Very much looking forward to it myself!

We didn't have parties to "boost morale". We didn't have quiz nights. We didn't have champagne. We watched our colleagues die. We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands. These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office. Use your vote. Vote.

I am desperate to see the back of this lying, conniving, self-serving shower, but not overly optimistic that things will be that different. Perhaps Act Now provides something of a blueprint of how things could be different.

What A Beautiful Day
