First elections you can recall

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

I remember what I know now in retrospect to be the calling of the election in 2001. Other than that, political events I distinctly remember are the Iraq War protests, the deposing of Blair, the London Mayoral elections of 2008, the election of Barack Obama (the first foreign election I cared about) and the 2009 local and European elections (the first time I got interested in the nitty gritty).
