This piece from Decay in May 2017 was encouraging people to use their vote in the June General Election of that year. An election that resulted in a hung parliament in which the Conservatives ‘bought’ the seats of the DUP to gain the slimmest of majorities, to continue the miserable administration we have become used to for more than a decade. I can’t wait to be shot of them if I am honest. The current Cabinet are an absolutely incompetent shower and the coronavirus outbreak has evidenced their poor decision making, not just during the crisis, but in running down our essential public services for more than a decade. I’ll stop there.

The artwork from Decay is really nice and it is great to have a piece from the artist that is a bit different from his customary writing or concentric pattern work. The three ovals on the left of the Y are a similar feature used by Slim Pickings on his Ts and Ss. A nice political piece.

Democratic vote.
Pencil crosses in the box
unbearable wait.

Today I exert

Few things are so clear
my conscience will be my guide
and the Earth the prize.

An empty church hall
decked out with trestle tables
and three earnest clerks,
I pencil in my crosses;
my vote is cast. There it is.

I expect a very low turnout for the metro mayor election.
