  The turnout may well be disappointing, when is it otherwise?
  
  The only time we see people clamouring to vote is when they cannot.
  
  The excuses have begun, the BBC wonders if people will bother to vote because it is likely to be a rainy day, but when has a lack of public enthusiasm had more of an effect than packing Hyde Park with banner waving protesters?
  
  If the acreage of the fiefdoms proposed is cause for concern is not the overt Party-Politicisation of the whole thing not a matter for complaint also: The preposterous conditions that each Candidate must meet, squeaky-clean and loaded.
  
  If the public's No! is to mean No! surely it is batter expressed as such? Turn a blind eye to this election if you will, as you might on seeing a truck bearing down upon you...
  
  Can there be a greater, more severe, powerlessness than that we impose upon ourselves?
