At the time, I felt I didn’t have much choice; and I didn’t believe in ‘not voting’.

(Given the same situation again today, I might wonder: ‘What if they held an election, and nobody came?’)

When I was a little kid and first learning about politics, I always envisioned these little ‘political men’ walking around on the ground, looking very busy and small - while I was high up on the branch of a tall tree, looking down on them and totally removed from the whole affair.

I’ve never known how or why I developed that perspective at such a young age; but have been trying to get back to it all of my adult life.
