The McDonnell Broadcasting Corporation? If Only!

How many elections do the Lib Dems have to lose before the BBC stops trying to turn the other two parties into them? Not content with Newsnight's campaign for Gordon Brown to replace his fellow-Eurosceptic Margaret Beckett with Sir Menzies Campbell, The World At One today launched its renewal of the Beeb's longrunning campaign for the entirely non-"proportional" Alternative Vote electoral system, egged on by Simon Hughes.

Or has Auntie been taken over by John McDonnell's campaign, which, always on course for thirty per cent of the vote, would top forty per cent if Brown failed to rule out both a Lib-Lab coalition and any move away from First Past The Post either for Westminster or for local government?
