Those thoughtful chaps at The Grauniad have been chatting with other opinion formers in NW1 and have decided that The People’s Voice needs to be heard. Brown must go and we the sweaty multitude can hasten to the hustings to seal the deal – after our betters have decided, of course, what is best for us.
Now what is best for us is proportional representation and fixed term parliaments and a constitutional convention and a referendum and all of it designed by a consortium of sundry academics with names like Vernon Bogdanor, glitterati like Polly Toynbee and a House of Commons where the majority of members and their spouses, parents, children and lovers have been having a whale of a time with money taken from our wallets and purses by HMRC.
Apparently we are not bright enough to make those decisions off our own bat over the next few weeks because an election now would “see Britain stumble into the future without any idea where it will lead”. We need to be led by the motley crowd of crooks and spongers who have brought Parliament into disrepute.
The fact is that the chattering classes are scared witless because at this moment in time they have lost control. The absolute contempt that ordinary people hold for the political class also spreads to the media class because we know that they also knew about the scams and the lies and the hypocrisy.
So let’s ignore the pathetic pleas from the Guardianistas. This stinking cesspit of a Parliament needs to slither away in shame within weeks and the next 60 days spent in getting constituency parties to either reselect or appoint new candidates and then we elect a new Parliament of clean men and women with a doctor’s mandate to purge the shame.
Forget precedent – hold a general Election on the first Thursday of September – let the people speak.
