Liberal Voice of the Year?

So, apparently the choices on this were picked by party members via the LDV members' survey. I don't recall ever being asked who my choice was, which leads me to believe that the question must have been asked in the survey I had technical problems with. Now, I'm not wearing a tinfoil hat here, but I can't help but wonder who else got technical problems on that survey because, seriously, party, you think Mark cocking Littlewood is more deserving than Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir or Helle Thorning-Schmidt or Michele Bachelet?

FFS.

Nine nominees and the one woman is Hillary bloody Clinton. Sometimes I truly despair.

Cheerful Things

Miss Holly came home from school today with a special certificate for good behaviour and a new-found fondness for the art of David Hockney. She is currently snuggled up next to me on the sofa watching 60s Batman. Not Eartha Kitt Catwoman, but one can't have everything.

These things are happy-making, and more than make up for me dropping out of the Wikio top Lib Dem blogs (which serves me right for my inactivity). If you'd like to read some proper political stuff, might I recommend Caron, who has a splendid post today on sexism.
