Blimey Dibbs you are a Tory.
I suspect you do follow but as usual when the question gets to difficult / uncomfortable you've taken the new Tory stance.

and believe it or not Mike Green Dave does his own webcam shows.
Part of the show is to ask Green Dave questions which (if he likes them) he'll answer. !laugh!

Even if you don't vote, you're within your right to complain. You're still a citizen and tax payer. Remember that thousands upon thousands of votes will never count unless we use Proportional Representation. First past the post voting isn't exactly ideal.
Are we to blame?

Are we to blame for the mess we are in?
Is our generation responsible for the need to have media friendly MP's?
If Caroline Flint was Labour, Julia Goldsworthy Liberal and Mrs T Tory would she have been last in this day and age just because the other two look better?
If yes then we have a serious problem.
Should those of us who were around when Mrs T didn't think twice about destroying entire communities be explaining why Politics is important, not the look of the individual, why there should be more to aim for than a place on things like the Jeremy Kyle show etc. or to even be a Jeremy Kyle style 'celebrity' despite their prominence in the media?
Should we take stock of things that we have allowed on things like the Police having to much 'red tape' to deal with when most of it was introduced to appease the likes of Chandra Chipolata etc because of things like stop and search in media campaigns and explain to the media when they then complain about things not being done why they are not being done?
Should we be posting links like the one below when rants are made about UK petrol prices and arguing that while something must be done it should be done across the entire world and not making one particular person look an idiot via the media?
Although history shows that MP's have always used the media Blair kicked this current style off, Green Dave despite his promise to "end Punch and Judy politics" keeps it going and Brown feels the need for it despite his obvious failings.
Should we be saying fuck it looking good in the media, create something that works and give our kids and their kids something that inspires them to want to vote?

I thought that was Edwina Currie's job.

Yup, I agree with you Sam.
I remember discussing this topic with Wazza last year and he poo-pood the idea of PR.

The Stalinist retard better not ring me, because the conversation would go something like:
GB: Hello Broon here
Me: Piss Off you cunt.
Then I'd hang up.
At least it'd be short.
