Hope is an avid follower of politics.  

Yesterday was election day in my province and for the first time that I can remember we changed our government.  44 years of conservative rule crashed and burned last night.  It's pretty exciting being a part of a revolution.  Of course there will be the inevitable post election hangover to deal with, when the euphoria is replaced with reality.  But let's not talk about that now, let's just bask in the warm glow of change coming up over the horizon.
