A Geek’s Guide to the issues.

public abstract static virtual enum Vote {

NULL (do not vote. Do not go to the polling station),

DELETE (spoil my ballot),

LABOUR (I approve of the current government),

CONSERVATIVE (The conservatives will gain power anyway so I will support them to change the country. They say they will),

LIBERAL (the standard method of registering protest as they haven’t run a government for 100 years so it’s a safe protest),

GREEN (save the planet),

BNP (kick the blacks out),

UKIP (No to Europe. Britain is the greatest country on earth),

JURY (haven’t a clue),

LIBERTAS.EU (Yes to Europe. No to an undemocratic EU), // their words

MONSTER (monster raving Loony party. I don’t think they are standing),

};

public Vote(String message); const=0

I can send one of about 10 messages. My program has 10 states. And it runs at the speed of 1 operation per 3-5 years or 10 nanoHertz. This is an appalling situation where in everyday life we make decisions on the order of milliHertz and our messages speed round the world at megahertz.

See? Even the those with their head firmly up the backside of Molecular Informatics have woken up to the fact that the country is in a desperate situation and they ought to be out voting!
