Prosaic democracy

It was local elections today, so I went to vote at our village hall. I like the physical act of going to vote, in a small way it makes you feel part of the democratic process. I can't imagine that when my daughter is my age she will be trudging through the rain to put marks on paper, and for all my love of things digital, I think something will be lost in this.
Anyway, we talk in very grandiose terms about democracy (and rightly so), but I also like that at its base is this everyday reality - village halls on a damp Thursday. Long may it be the case.
