Midterm ma? maaa?..... something begining with a M signifying boredom.

We just had our midterm elections over here in blighty, and i thought... well i won't bother to pay much attention to them, barely knew they were happening infact, i mean i'm a voter but they weren't happening where i live, so i couldn't vote, i don't live in some wierd Vatican like enclave its just that they are staggered over here, or so i would imagine they are, on second thought maybe i do live in a Vatican like enclave, its called London pleased to meet you, so anyway i didn't really care, midterms never make a dent in the political spectrum, and they never really change anything.................... but then i remembered the most recent mid terms in the US................ didn't the Democrats fend off everyones predictions of another boring mid term by winning The House? If you have a very poor memory and don't remember, then the answer is yes, yes they did that thing, they took The House, they fought them here they thought them there they stormed the beaches and they came out triumphant, it almost brings a tear to the eye.......................................... no such luck for UK, Labour were given a bit of a thrashing but not as big a one as everyone was predicting, same old same old, same old same old.
