So little does David Cameron think of the present Government's efficiency that today he welcomes Bernard Gray (the MoD's efficiency adviser), Martin Read (cited in Gordon Brown's foreword to the Smarter Gov paper) and Sir Peter Gershon to his own team working on that very subject.
Why do we bother having Elections in this country any more? Consider the following:
Matthew Taylor, Head of the Number 10 Policy Unit under Blair, mate of Ed Vaizey's, on for a job under Cameron;
Julian Le Grand, former Blair adviser on health policy, on for a job under Cameron;
Ken Anderson, another old Blair adviser on health, now based at UBS, on for a job under Cameron;
Geoff Mulgan, old Trotskyist ex-Director of Demos, Blair's favourite think tank and itself a literal continuation of the dissolved Communist Party of Great Britain, on for a peerage and Ministerial office under Cameron;
And now these three.
Plus who knows how many more. Welcome to the One-Party State of Britain. If one of England's World Cup matches were fixed in the way that the political process now is, there would be riots in the streets.

Not forgetting Mandelson's announcement that he'd be happy to work with the Tories should Labour lose the election
ReplyDeleteThat, and so very many other things.
ReplyDeleteKeep on eye on this blog, which keeps an eye on this trend.
Tories still don't seem to grasp the fact that their potential victory will be due to utter failure on the part of Labour. It is not understandable that they try to be just like Labour.
