Opposition is an easy job

I think Minge feels a little bit starved of the political limelight, with Flash (thats my new nickname for GB) hogging most of it with meetings with Thatcher (boo his) and David Cameron hogging the rest of it with the various Tory cock ups. So in grand (and foolish) bit of political grandstanding the Lib Dem's have announce that they thing Britain should have a referendum on british membership the European union, get the details here ( you would think i work for the fucking bbc). Which i imaging strikes a cord with certain parts of the public, the problem i personally have this is that its the sort of thing that only the Lib Dem's can get away with because there not in any sort of position to gain proper power so they can claim anything they want about referenum and policy without ever having to think about the repercussions . But i credit the public with enough common sense to see through such plans. Having said that your always going to get this with a multi party system, and Britain's politics is a little better for it. i suppose i could pour over the pro's and con's of the European union, and the multi party system aswell, but instead i will just say to the idea of a referenum on the memebership.........

Flash ....aaaaaahhhhhhhhh


Is it me or is this in fact the best political slogan of all time. One of the reasons i like it is that it is a clever attack on the grandstand politics of David Cameron, and also a clear break from the headline grabbing nature of the Blair years. But the real reason i like it is that its a beautiful pop culture reference to Savior of the universe, Flash Gordon. There will be those who say it says little about Labour politics, but who cares its vaguely humorous. 

Just a little update. More will follow
