A Bun For All Seasons: Enjoying the group of voters in some areas who are going to have gone Lib Dem - UKIP - Green since 2010

There’s a window on the estate that has, since the last election, had a “vote Diane Abbott” poster which has over the last few days changed to “Vote Green”, which is just a beautiful snapshot of how odd electoral behaviour can be.

I’ve known plenty of local council candidates who been through four or five (or more) parties with radically different ideologies. Local politics is ridiculous.

It's a glorious thing to witness

The sheer whiplash from that is difficult to imagine, it's like Obama-Trump level of political swing!

It's quite normal for voters to behave this way, you get used to it

Crikey

Once you've reached the zen acceptance that ideological consistency is for weirdos, voters become more interesting and comprehensible

Yeah. But it’s very hard to reach that point if you’re a weirdo. Speaking for myself, anyway.
