A small ramble...
In spite of the difficulties of the last week, the Monk has finally taken the time to do just a little bit of web-crawling to see what others have to say. Over on Dodgeblogium he has discovered that there are three posters there who echo many of his own sentiments about the deteriorating political and governance situation in the UK. You would do well to read these three recent posts, for they have more than a few of the same thoughts as he.
Tim at An Englishman's Castle is having a few thoughts about the size of the English democratic vote - by this he means, the Monk gathers, votes cast for independent and anti-EU candidates. So it would appear that the writers on Dodgeblogium are not the only ones exercised about the state of our democracy.
With most of the US bloggers occupied with considerations of electing a President, there isn't a great deal for someone not involved to comment on. Personally I think Kings and Queens are so much more economical - you only pay for the funerals and the coronations - and they just happen without having to mess about with an electoral process which costs a fortune and doesn't (if some writers are to be believed!) change a great deal. Just the faces in the front and back rows according to some Romanian friends.
Ah well, at least the sun is shining, the grass has riz - and the Monk better go and find the mower.
