 Election night in Canada
Praying for results that will help people - whatever party that might be. If you'd say a prayer for us, it would be appreciated.
...and that's as political as I will get in public.

Same here in Scotland.

Good luck.

Well, prayer didn't work and we're now stuck with a Conservative majority.

Election time in South Africa on 18 May. Local elections, that is.
While Parliament in Cape Town and the nine provincial legislatures are elected on a purely proportional basis, local elections (for local, district and metropolitan municipalities) are conducted on a ward basis, with only a small proportional vote.
The metropoles (Cape Town, Nelson Mandela Bay [Port Elizabeth], eThekwini [Durban], Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni [East Rand] and Tshwane [Pretoria] stand alone, but the rest of the local municipalities fall under district municipalities (roughly equivalent to counties).
The campaign is hotting up – but, like Father Bill, I had better keep that to myself.
Regards,
Mike

Folks - this was not my intention. I was asking for prayers for the good of all, not for a personal opinion about which party would be a good one. Let's keep it cool.

My sentiments exactly.
I have been shooting my mouth off on other forums about politics in my country, but this is not the place for it.
