The Loneliness of the Long Distance Voter
I'm told a woman voter turned up at an Upper Bann primary school this morning ready to do her democratic duty. The somewhat puzzled caretaker pointed out the election isn't until next Thursday. You may no longer be able to vote often, but you can at least try to vote early.
Such keenness contrasts with the general apathy I found in Antrim earlier this week, where the majority of people I approached in the street told me they had no intention of voting.
