It is in the constitution that events overtake events.
I have just coined an updated observation! So this years publishing event by the Daily Telegraph Group will become a thing of the past. Event will come along to make certain that it is. However, there is no indication that either MPs and peers or the media generally and including the Daily Telegraph group will deliver a significantly improved quality of service to the public. Why do I say this? For one thing, the Daily Telegraph as ceased its fervour. And relapsed into Party political mode. As the house journal for one of the two main Parties. And secondly, the sheer brazen irrationality and Partisanship in the piece by Matthew D'Ancona. Where is the evidence to justify his fanatic almost worryingly zealous dislike of one Party? If the evidence of the published response of the ordinary public to the behaviour of MPs and peers as temporarily chronicled by the Daily Telegraph this year is any guide then the public are as disgusted about one Party as they are about another. Which rationally should cause the likes of Matthew D'Ancona to stop being vehicles of Party political agenda and start themselves reporting on what the people are saying now. The people in the streets of East London that I see are not impressed by any of the power-wielding Parties. Nor are they impressed by those Parties local fodder and touts. The people are deeply unimpressed and do not expect much to change for the better with the political careerists and their media hangers on remaining bent on furthering their own petty and undignified gains and ends while neglecting the needs and the priorities of the country and the public. If the accounts are accurate as published so far on both the BBC [on Friday night 24 July 2009, through the mouth of John Torode, also from the same Spectator that Matthew D'Ancona Edits and as stated on the front-page of todays DAILY MAIL] about the cause behind the announcement that Andrew McKinley is so disgusted by the timidity of his fellow Party MPs that he is quitting Parliament then that reinforces the analysis that I have made of the UK Parliament and politics for decades.
Which is that the UK parliament is effectively a decoration.
And that the UK public are regularly taken for rides by the given regimes [in chronological order]. Look as far back as objectively verifiably independent and accurate records will allow and you will find that the claim of accountable democracy about the Parliament in Britain is a most misleading one. It does NOT exist. Which means that Matthew D'Ancona’s attaching of so much importance to the Norwich by-election is indicative of his lack of grasp of the realities of British political mess. By comparison, even Amanda Plattel [as shown on the page published with her name by the Daily mail today 25 July 2009] has got a far more preferable, and real, view of the 27 year old winner of the by-election!
And that is saying something!
