How Did You Spend Referendum Day?

The big day has arrived, it's Referendum day and whether you Tory Scum, Socialist Scum, A Traitor or any other name that is being thrown about on the internet, today hasn't been as exciting as i thought it would be.

The humidity has been the biggest issue for me, it's been grey and gloomy all day in Hull, however i did enjoy a freshly ground Vanilla Coffee this morning, however the aroma was more enchanting than the taste of the coffee.

In the morning i played a little Euro Truck Simulator 2 on my laptop and then headed into town for voting, i won't say which way i voted, but i cast my vote.

The polling station were nice and polite, they were expecting me, which was nice. In every election i have stood in i have always got on well with the polling station staff.

After voting, which took me a couple of minutes to cast my vote, it was over to a local shopping centre for a limited edition doughnut at Krispy Kreme, the dougnut was a peanut butter and jelly doughnut, i enjoyed it, not sure about the price of £2 though!

Now it's just a waiting game until the polling stations close at 10pm and then of course the result in the early hours of the morning.

The 600 Strong Rode Into Newark

We've had Local Elections, we've had European Elections now we have a By-Election, if you live in Newark you're in for a treat, you get to vote 3 times in one year.

As loyal as i am to the Conservative Party, i just don't think UKIP have the ground, the people or the funds to fight this By-Election.

The whole UKIP thingy seems like a flash in the pan, you can only shock and awe for so long before the initial shock wears off, take Iraq for example, we gave them shock and awe and it didn't take long before they wanted us out, in the same analogy it won't take long before people want UKIP out.

Sensationalising by the media is what has got people hopping around like bunnies shouting UKIP are going to do this and that,  clearly a party with one policy isn't really going anywhere.

With that being said today in Newark over 600 activists turned out to campaign for the upcoming By-Election, but was it panic and fear of UKIP or merely the oldest party in the country flexing it's political muscle?

This By-Election for me won't throw up any shocks, i wasn't shocked by the European Election results, i don't think UKIP are going to shock me in this election.
