My brother and I are shocked and disappointed by our omission from your blog-post. You are clearly in breach of Clause 17 of the Standard Terms of Service of your contract as a political commentator, which stipulates that our names should be included in any discussion of a forthcoming election with two main candidates.
You can expect to hear from our lawyer, Sir W. Knight (QC).
It'd take a wiser head than mine to explain how we got to the point where British politics resembles nothing more than two midgets playing ping-pong on a beermat while a gang of braying twats play poker with your pension.
I had a go here.
Alexander Cockburn anticpated your list when talking about the US:
At a quick count, off the agenda of debate this year are the role of the Federal Reserve; trade policy; economic redistribution; nuclear disarmament; reduction of the military budget and the allocation of military procurement; the role of the World Bank, IMF, WTO; crime, punishment and the prison explosion; the war on drugs; corporate welfare; forest policy; the destruction of small farmers and ranchers; Israel; Cuba; the corruption of the political system.
"I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. 'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!'"
If you look very carefully you might spot the puppeteer's hands up their arses.(along with the heads of state)
