Does it mean she’ll have even more time to pop up on TV screens to express her opinion about everything?
Maybe she can do a Portillo/Abbott like pairing with Mark Oaten…
A quote below from the BBC transcript of the Gordon Brown interview broadcast on Sunday 10 Sept 2006 in which he sees political parties as becoming obsolete. Now Ms 5hort is said to be planning to support the LibDems in seeking PR. The old order disintegrates before our very eyes.
ANDREW MARR: … what is the difference, that ordinary people will notice in a Gordon Brown government?
GORDON BROWN: We’re dealing with a refreshed government obviously, under a new leader, with new challenges. I see that politics in this country is too narrow, as too much a specialist sport, as too remote from the people of this country, as not involved enough in the communities of our country.
I see political parties as becoming obsolete because they are not networks, in other words they are simply organisations, when what people want are bodies that can link into every part of a community.
And I would see a community approached at this that would be quite different from what we’ve traditionally thought of politics 50 years ago or 20 years ago. And I would see the constitutional reform that flowed from that as actually being incredibly important also, as to the future of how people saw the way our country is governed.
Whatever she makes out of jacking it in with the bastards allegedly running the country will pale into insignificance against what Bliar and his fat friend will get out of it.
