I was amused to see the ecology party doing well and then rushing around remembering they didn't quite have enough policies yet...all the same, good for them, I'm pleased to see the environment getting a bit more attention. Overall quite good results (IMHO) even without my contribution, so I feel less guilty than I would have done if the FN had won loads of seats.

We voted out of a vague feeling that "if you don't vote you can't complain". Quite a lot of people were down at the voting booths so the apathy wasn't that great, at least among the people I know or recognise.
