Hope Lies In The Polls

Grrrrrrreetings constituents!

Now, defeat can be a funny thing. In a way, a bad turn out at the polls can also be deemed as a success. You see, there were a lot of people who didn’t vote, so that means that if they had voted in favour of New Labour, we would have won! You have to look on the bright side, don’t you?

Gordon has had a quick shuffle just before the weekend. You can’t beat a good shake-up. He managed to implement a really radically innovative new cabinet – where nothing much really appeared to change at all! Ally ‘Oops’ Darling remained as Chancellor, Jack ‘Drinking’ Straw is still Justice Secretary, David ‘Filliband’ Milliband is doing whatever it is he did before, strutting about around the world and telling people what to do or whatever it was, and Peter ‘Are The Handles On?’ Mandelson has become Secretary for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, and essentially Deputy Prime Minister. If Gordon gets the boot or happened to be involved in some kind of ‘incident’, he could even become head honcho by proxy. I’m sure this thought has never crossed his innocent mind. The peerage that he’s been given must be a nice sweetener, especially after getting away with that mortgage fraud. It is changes like these, that involve no changes at all, that show how the government is best placed to overcome the difficulties at hand.

Gordon has shown himself to be the Leader of the Pack. He’s the king in the deck. Ok, so the House of Cards may be teetering a little, on the brink of collapse, but I’m sure that Gordon has a few aces up his sleeve.

Some readers may be interested to know that it is the 60th anniversary of the release of George Orwell’s utopian novel 1984 this week. I think it is a great celebration to have the Prime Minister that we have now introducing all sorts of surveillance techniques as seen in the book, and really making the best of this blueprint for a highly regulated, efficient society. Mr Orwell would be proud to hear that we’ve been watching Big Brother and learning a whole lot from him! Doubleplus good!
