Voting Tomorrow ... I Have .... Postal Voting the way to go

A fair chuck of the country goes to the polls tomorrow in the local elections with the pundits and political strategists running the numbers to make the jump from local voting patterns to national with the General Election weeks away.

On the BBC, the battle map will be dusted down while discussing battlegrounds and predicting and forecasting results to possible General Election outcomes.

Ok I vote Labour but if they did, something locally I did not agree with I would simply not vote for them. My vote is non-transferable it goes Labour or nowhere. But I understand what cut backs in funding is going to mean, services tweaked and the loss of some like the argument surrounding ‘Play Centres’ locally.

I do not think any councillor walks into the council hall happily shutting down or reducing funding to any project. But like in national politics the opposition can always find money to spend but at a costs to something.

I must say it has been quiet here just Plaid Cymru have knocked the door and I gave them short shrift. My letterbox has been particularly unused with leaflets from Plaid Cymru and Labour not a word or piece of paper from the others.

In Wales party leaders in the most have spoken on the eve of the polls.

First Minister Carwyn Jones emailed Labour Party members asking for their help with a final push for votes.

Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said her party was best placed to defend local services and "clean up" communities.

Conservative local election campaigner, MP Byron Davies, said he was surprised by the number of people ready to back his party.

The Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Mark Williams promised to lead "real change" in communities.

UKIP AM Gareth Bennett highlighted plans to clamp down on "fat cat" salaries for council bosses.

Wales Green Party leader Grenville Ham said his party brought "new ideas and new energy to the table".
