Need… More…

The election has ended and I am going through a sort of withdrawal. I no longer get to watch election television at odd hours of the night. I can’t find page upon page of analysis by people who used to be spin doctors themselves. I… I simply can’t spend much more time on the election.
In the days right after the voting, we have the counting of the votes for individual candidates and the work of creating the basis for the next four years. But now it is all over. We still have «ordinary» politics but it doesn’t have the urgency of Elections.
I got to try something new this year: handing out flyers for a specific candidate. And even got to help with hanging up a few posters. Søren Toft, the candidate I was out promoting didn’t get in, but he did a fantastic job with the campaign. And it was interesting to sense how it works when an election is about more than just receiving information. And that is perhaps the single most exciting experience in this campaign: actually being one of the many people who actively try to participate in the process. I wasn’t as active as I would have liked, but it was a start. And in four years, I get to do it again.
I know: I am an election junkie.
