Yesterday demonstrated the fact that our daughter is now grown up as I took her with me to the polling station, not just for companionship but so that she could vote for the first time!
She has taken much more interest in the election this time which I was glad to see and really thought hard about how she was going to vote. Since the polls closed she not only stayed up very late to see the results come in overnight - the slowness was a bit of a disappointment - but has just rung me from college to see how things are going.
It's a shame that her interest has not been rewarded by any clear, decisive outcome but that is the nature of democracy.
