Deputy leadership

I’m ready for this contest to be over now, are you? I just watched the team on Question Time and realised that I’d had enough. Even for a political obsessive, I’m getting a bit bored.

During this process though, I’ve realised how we could really build an inclusive party, like all of the candidates say they want. The Labour Party voting procedure was devised by Albert Einstein but it is based on an elimination ballot. For nearly three months, our valiant team of six have lived in each others pockets as they’ve toured the country to be quizzed at hustings. They must have got to know each other really well by now.

So what’s my big idea to build a new kind of politics? Political Big Brother.

All six of them should have been locked up in a house together and we could eliminate one candidate each week. I know the George Galloway thing might have scared them off but lets face it, none of them are that bad. What say you?
