Would the real Independents please stand up
Prior to last years Police and Crime Commissioner elections on the 15th November, there was very little evidence of a widespread appetite by electors for Independent candidates. The PCC election was a touchstone for me personally, having always been willing to vote … Continue reading
Democracy in 4 takes
November 5th celebrates the saving of Parliament from Gunpowder, Treason and Plot. However as I was told last night, every year the security teams which protect MPs, Peers, Staff and their visitors carry out additional checks in the parts of the building that Guy … Continue reading
Earning or Learning?
Yesterdays speech by David Cameron was full of very strange hyperbole. As if he had not learnt from the disastrous politicisation of the ‘Big Society’ concept, Dave has now attempted to appropriate ‘Hope’ on behalf of his Party. At least the Big Society was … Continue reading
Boris and broken political windows
The interview with Boris Johnson on Monday evening on Newsnight from Manchester revealed a great deal about the broken windows that litter our political landscape. In a discussion with Jeremy Paxman strikingly similar to the one that the two men … Continue reading

One of the privileges or perhaps frustration of living in a city like Brighton & Hove is that every few years, there will be a visit by a Political Circus, usually in the Autumn when the bigger party conferences take place. … Continue reading
Nick, did you remember to kick the wheels?
“If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is!” A week ago it appeared that the big idea for this weeks Lib Dem conference was to be charging for plastic bags. Then on Tuesday Nick Clegg visited … Continue reading
A future for all of us
The period between this morning and the afternoon of the 2nd October is the political equivalent of the Olympic Games without the lavish opening or closing ceremony or indeed any medals. The venues will change from event to event as they did with … Continue reading
A better morning for Syria
The events of the last 24 hours in the UK appear to be better news for Syria than I had imagined yesterday. It remains to be seen if a much more resolute UK Parliament can stay the hand of America in … Continue reading
