WE'VE been putting the finishing touches to our post-election coverage in time for this week's Advertiser.
It's a pretty conprehensive round-up (even if I do say so myself) but I think it's well justified given the thousands of people across West Lancs who botthered to turn out and vote.
So after a month over chewing over local politics you'd probably wonder whether I'm starting to get fed up at talking about wards, marginals, swings and other funny words that mean nothing to the average Joe.
Well, actually I've quite enjoyed it and hopefully we're going to be starting another politics blog shortly (suggestions for titles gratefully received).
The plan is to post my last entry here on Friday and then leave it perhaps for a few weeks before the blogging starts again, probably on the new site.
I really think that when it comes to local politics, newspapers really need to help their readers understand the nuts and bolts of what goes on and give a behind the scenes account of how their hard-earned taxes are spent.
Much like this blog, it's sometimes serious, sometime jovial and sometimes just an out-and-out soapbox, but that's what makes politics such an important and indeed fascinating subject matter.
So rest assured, even though The Battle for West Lancashire is over for another year, I'm sure there'll be plenty for us to debate in the civic year which lies ahead.
