Tavia said: "the Deputy Leader of the party currently in government punched a demonstrator in the face a few days back, and the demonstrator ended up being questioned by the police"

The demonstrator in question was a 29 year strapping farm labourer who threw an egg at the deupty leader (a 62 year old man) at point blank range. The Labour Party deputy leader (John Prescott) instictively turned round and punched him. The farm labourer then shoved his 62 year old opponent on to a wall and looked about to hit him before securiy people grabbed him. The police arrested the right person.

Meanwhile, I've been leafleting for the Socilaist Alliance. I think Blake would have approved. Servalan was more the Margret Thatcher type in her day. The Conservative Party of which Thatcher was part has a wimp in charge these days and looks a mess.

Think Vila, Jenna and Gan would probably vote Labour, Avon might be Conservative if he bothered to vote. Cally would vote for the Green Party, though I'm not sure they're running this time (not heard anything from them). Don't know about Dayna and Soolin.
