General Election: How many people feel like her?

by Lee Smallwood on May 5, 2010

So here I am on the train into Paddington for tonights #140conf. I sat in the first available seat and the lady in front of me is talking to a friend on the phone.

Not one to normally listen in, but as part of tonights #140conf London meetup is regarding the General Election – her conversation was interesting.

The bit I came in on was,
“I’ve only voted once before in my life. Not going to vote this time as I might as well just put all the candidate’s names into a hat and draw one out because I think they’re all as f*****g bad as each other.”

Maybe this could be a question asked tonight?

What do you think?

if you can’t make it to the #140conf tonight – but want to ask a question to the panel send me a tweet…
