Here in London, we’re getting ready for the elections.  Unfortunately, this week’s elections are all being held overseas.  In the first instance, we don’t even get to vote.

But, as the words on the postcards suggest, ‘yes, we care‘ about the voting that’s going on in the United States of America as I type this.  The BBC 1 coverage doesn’t even start till after 11pm, but we’ll be staying up late to watch.

And of course, equally important (for me at least), is the New Zealand election this weekend.  Apparently votes can be cast by downloading ballot papers and faxing them back to the Electoral Office.  However, that doesn’t have quite the same romance as voting at New Zealand House in Haymarket – so I’ll be heading over that way sometime later in the week, before the polls close at 4pm on Friday.

And then I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed.
