The race is going to be tight: Kingston Council is only just controlled by the Lib Dems, and losing this seat to the Tories will make a difference. Unfortunately, with it being a by-election for a single council seat, most people really couldn't care less either way. I almost don't care, because all you ever hear about Kingston Council in the local press is bitching and moaning about whatever they're doing. Yet, we have a damn good recycling service here now (still doesn't collect everything I want, but it's improved dramatically since the Lib Dems took over), the streets are clean and mostly well-maintained, there are all kinds of useful services available if you bother to find out about them (like the very low price cycling lessons), and, if I happened to have a child of school age, the schools here are good, which puts the property prices up. Not that I particularly care about that, but it's nice to know that my house is still worth at least what we paid for it. Help, I'm turning into a Daily Mail reader!

New-to-me doctors never understand me
