Brown Foxed?

There should not be televised debates between the Party Leaders in the run-up to the General Election. We shall be electing a Parliament, not a President. Sky News is trying to become Fox. It shouldn't. And the Prime Minister should not be egging it on.

Nor should he announce, as it looks as if he might, the introduction of recall elections. Gimmicky rubbish should be left to the Lib Dems and to David Cameron. We need primaries. We also need electoral reform. But primarily, we need primaries.
