Corrections: May is not June, opps!
Apr. 30th, 2010 11:10 amSo May and June are not the same month. The UK election is in May; the California primaries are in June. Somehow I got mixed up about this. So sorry for any confusion I've cased.
The scary thing is I've been hearing about about the CA primary for longer then they've know about the election in the UK. And that's just the primary -- the election isn't till November.
The parliamentary system of having elections when the government decides (vast over simplification), rather then having fixed terms still strikes me as odd. However I can certainly see the advantage to less time being spend campaigning. Still I like predictability.
We have our voter's pamphlet now. They cut down on mailing and are issuing one per household rather then one per voter. I have to take the time to read it soon.
