Stella and I filled out our ballots last night and sent them off by post this morning (since we'll be away this weekend -- Germany votes on Sunday; the UK apparently does so today?).

She mentioned that she was a bit surprised/disappointed that she hadn't received and communication/information from any political parties telling her why she should consider voting for them. And indeed, she asked me whom she should vote for.

(I said, pick one of the top 5 if you're not sure; that'll at least be one fewer vote for any radical fringe parties.)
