| Voting Line, Charly Palmer, 2000 |
My introduction to the June 2024 edition of The Pelican, the Parish e-Magazine of St Giles-in-the-Fields:
As I write, family and friends in South Africa have been standing in line for over three hours to cast their vote. They are not alone. This month, votes cast by 20% of the world’s population will be counted. The result of India’s three-month long general election will be revealed. The population of Mexico goes to the polls in an historic election widely expected to return the country’s first female President; and voters in the European Union will elect a new parliament.
