Today, I wandered down the road with the intentions of casting a Yes vote for AV in UK's referendum on electoral systems. However, I ended up only have a flat white in a local cafe instead. Sigh.
While I am entitled and registered to vote, I couldn't, in good conscience, express my preference. The choice in this referendum is about the long-term political and constitutional affairs of a country and community in which I am an alien. It's therefore a choice for locals, not interlopers like me.
Anyways, for those interested in the referendum itself, I did find this pod-cast by Johann Hari interesting and amusing:
