Iain Dale is running a survey of opinion on UK politicians – who has been the best and worst in 2008. If you have a few moments to spare go and have a look and vote… HERE
For what it’s worth I voted:
Politician of the Year – Gordon Brown
Why? Because GB epitomises everything we have now come to expect about politicians. They used to call Le Grand Nautonnier Blair ‘Teflon’ Tony because shit would slide off him. Shit is attracted to and sticks to GB but it doesn’t seem to make any difference- he thrives on it like some kind of alien fungus. There we are then it is the post-modern, post-industrial post-sanitary ironic World we live in.
There are lots of other categories to vote for like best MP, best minister, worst political gaffe etc etc.
Predictions for 2009
- Vince Cable will replace Clegg in Feb
- General election end of May
- Tories destroyed by ‘do nothing’ and ‘Eton Toff’ slurs
- Rhodri Morgan goes on holiday again
- Onerous legal restrictions on blogging introduced..more
- Plaid get new leader – Adam Price
- EU convergence funds ‘get lost’ in financial crisis … more
- WAG struggles to pass its second piece of devolved legislation
- The entire Welsh economy enters negative equity
- Wales win the Grand Slam! (again)!
Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda.
