Autonomous Mind has read my Mail on Sunday piece and takes it further. He draws the obvious conclusions. Raedwald also has some very interesting comments and his commentator makes a valid point or two. I really smiled at Ockham's Razor, and enjoyed hugely Wittering from Witney.
It is always interesting to see who links to you on these occasions ... and who doesn't - that tells its own tale. To get an op-ed in the Mail on Sunday is a significant event, and the paper has given it good exposure, with also a link on the front page of the website. Some bloggers, who might have been expected to have crawled all over a piece covering the issues I raise, are strangely silent. You don't have to be a genius to work out why ... or why so few seem to be linking to Booker's piece. But there is something rather "precious" and pathetically small-minded there.
Me, I was going to do a review on Hague's piece in The Sunday Telegraph, but reading it induces a sort of torpor that prevents any further action. There is nothing Hague or any Conservative politician can say to me, to which I actually want to listen.
So, what do we want from our political institutions? Well, I wrote the answer in July 2005. And note ... I am referring to the institutions. They have served their purpose. We need to move on.
