Perhaps a bit late to start this topic...
I'm interested that there seemed to be no chat on here in the lead up to or after the election, or about politics in general. (National type politics not caving politics - there's plenty of that )
Are cavers not that interested in politics? (I hope they're not the 40% of the country who didn't vote), or do they debate it elsewhere? (facebook/the pub/whilst caving?)
Does national politics affect caving (perhaps certain parties might be more likely to fund things like the sports council, outdoor centres etc.).
Personally, I'm thoroughly devastated that the self serving Tories got in - Social justice is out of the window. The NHS, education, our communities and the disadvantaged will suffer, and more national assets will be sold off to the benefit of the privileged few.
What do others think?
