It was quite predictable watching the HLs this week. The speeches tend to be more a goodbye speech and a I'm looking forward to keeping in the house speech. The first is more interesting as they can speak their mind a bit more as they know they are leaving. Also as I've said a few times we don't really need Julie telling us before the HGs vote what we should expect, we aren't idiots (or most aren't I hope).

What I don't get is why HGs feel pressure to vote a particular way. The votes are private and not made public so nobody would know for sure how they voted, so they shouldn't be like sheep and just vote the way the wind is blowing.
