Well, now I know why my poll card has been taking its time getting to me: it turned up at my parents address - and they live nowhere near me. I registered to vote almost two months ago, I guess my application either got lost in the mail or screwed up by the electoral roll office. It won't change anything, it's too late now, but I'm going to phone them tomorrow and snarl at someone to make me feel better.
Fuck. This is the second time I've been unable to vote. The first time wasn't my fault either, I applied for a postal vote which my father then screwed up by registering me as still living at home. I suppose I can comfort myself in the fact that the party I was going to vote for doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning here.
Dammit, I'm pissed off tonight.

clara_swift who let me know I could still get a proxy vote. Now the only thing I need to worry about is my mother giving my vote away to the looniest party she can find...
