Democracy is alive and well, if uneven as to outcome. The Iraqis have – heroically – produced something approaching a viable constitutional basis for the next round of elections. Morgan Tsvangiri has succeeded in splitting and thus crippling Mugabe’s only opposition in Zimbabwe. In Britain, Labour’s proposed changes to electoral law look like a win for the nutcases and extremists and, in Radlett, the doughty parents of Fair Field Junior School have elected (by a majority of 16) a new Parent Governor: me. Bloody hell.
In which I try, after 25 years of blogging, to drop my ironic stance a bit.
Congratulations! I’m putting myself forward as PG for my junior school too. Should compare notes.
FOOLS!
What does Parent Governor actually mean? You are such a sucker for a title!! :-))
