I have been getting increasingly disenchanted with politics despite having always having been a big P policially engaged person. I even joined the Green Party as a student. Tempramentally I have always supported the Liberal Democrats. However, ever since they pushed Menzies Campbell out over a triviality such as his age, I have found myself drifting away from them. The other two major parties have never really attracted me. I am too left wing for the tories and Labour have always been too inward looking for my comfort. I would also struggle to join the party that took this country into the Afghan and Iraqui wars.
The independent idea though now looks increasingly interesting.
So. The question is. Should I be thinking about a change of direction as an idependent polititian?
We have plans that I am not prepared to forego in the near future. Details of that saga are here.
There is no way that anything will inturrup those plans which rules out standing for elections in Lambeth in 2014. However, we do hope to be back from our ocean wandering by 2015 so the next set of GLA elections might be a goer.
Time to think but this blog itself is a bit of a committment really.
