I don’t know how esteemed readers feel abour cross-media promotion, but an author under the name Tony Hannon has written what I believe is the first ever humourous article on www.labourhome.org. Under the title, What’s not to like about politics, it covers Tony’s pet hates, including;
1. Self-indulgent moaning
2. The three questions at a time
3. The evangelical activist
4. The “play the man and not the ball†thread poster
5. The sing along answer on Question Time
6. News segments with the polar opposites in an argument
7. Victims of crime were ‘really lovely’ according to their neighbours
8. Questions to the Prime Minister
9. Attack politics
10. Biased news media
While not necessarily amusing in this list form, I recommend you skip over there, take a look, and leave your comments.

I feel that perhaps these could form the basis of a ten commandments of politics. Somewhere there does need to be a, Thu shalt not be an over earnest misery, humour must be injected or even erected occasionally. Perhaps this comes under item 3 as these types tend to have little humour.
