The People’s Vote March - 23 March 2019
The UK, in political terms, is in a right pickle. A mess. A dilemma. And, dare I say it, divided.
I make no bones about it. I’m a remainer. The EU, far from taking away anything from me (except around £20 odd per annum as my personally contribution to the costs of the EU) has given all UK citizens something to be proud of.
The EU is more democratic than the UK. All countries have to vote unanimously to any law to become law; one dissenter and the law is binned.
The UK in the 2016 referendum (advisory not binding) was voted for by two countries to leave and two to remain. So a 50-50 split.
Enough of the politics. Let’s focus now on the pictures I’ve put up in my flickr ‘stream today.
The People’s Vote March in London on 23 March 2019 was a great opportunity for the genre of street photography. I will let the pictures to do the talking. Not all masterpieces of course but they represent the day and the meaning of it…for more than a million people who gave up their time to express their views.
I have some favourites. But I will let the viewer decide their own favourites, if any!
I hope you enjoy them and I’ll leave you to browse and to ponder.
Final words: with four grandchildren now, aged 14 down to three months old it’s their future we were marching about, and the generation above them.
I want us all to go back to being friends again and to not continue being divided. It’s not a lot to ask is it?
Ballots are mailed to voters in Oregon, along with information booklets about all the candidates and measures. Ballots can be mailed back. People in Oregon have no excuse for not voting. Not that most other people have good excuses. VOTE!
Obama!
Line for early voting in downtown Indianapolis. A few blocks long, it moved quickly and only took about 2 hours to vote. There were TV crews from Japan and the UK, and an awesome positive energy among all the people there.
I don't think I spotted a single McCain voter!

Today was my first time voting in the city of San Francisco since I moved here last year. I had reviewed the sample ballot the night before, but I didn't realize a different method is used for voting. I'm used to voting by using punch cards, or electronic voting, so I was confused when I stepped into the voting booth. I figured out how to vote -- filling in the space between the arrows -- after reading the instructions. Another difference in voting here is that when voting for candidates, you get to vote for your first, second and third choice of candidates for each seat.

Voting is a love hate relationship.
It takes me at least all day, and I never "love" a candidate.
However I feel better after I mail the ballot off knowing I did the best I could do.

Shane and Crystal Laliberte, carrying their 3 month old daughter, Ryan, stop to chat with Carol Hargrove outside the West Street Ward House in Concord's Ward 7 while on their way inside to vote Tuesday afternoon, November 2, 2010. "It's the baby's first vote," Laliberte joked on her way in.
