Guido’s Musical Manifesto

No boring dogma, long tracts or pledges. No movement is without a theme tune, but Guido’s is a funky anti-political Acid Jazz piece. Request the manifesto (3mb) by clicking here.

The Doors

“Yeah, we could vote for the Lib Dems, the party we believe in, and there’s a tiny, tiny risk we could let the Tories in by the back door. Or we could vote for Labour and let Bush’s Republicans in through Downing Street’s front door.”

Telegraph Endorses Anti-Political Manifesto

Alright, to be exact Christopher Fildes, the doyen of City journalists, endorses anti-politics. He also quotes from the latest poll which shows the anti-politics cause looking set to be triumphant on Thursday, remember our slogan “Don’t Vote, It Only Encourages Them!”

Now, with the finish in sight, the leaders of other parties resort to scare tactics, urging us to come out and vote for fear of letting the other side in. They have a long way to go, to judge by the latest poll from NotmeGuv, exclusive (of course) to these pages.

Unlike all its rivals, NotmeGuv covers the field. It seeks to reflect the intention of every potential elector and does not confine its results to the dwindling majority who still intend to vote. Nullists first, it says, and the rest nowhere:

Nullist 40%
Labour 21%
Conservative 19%
Lib. Dem. 15%
Others 5%

If this pattern is replicated on Thursday, the people will not have spoken but they will have made their point all the same. None of the above, they must fear, will pay attention for long.

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…

“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”



Focus group time. says:

The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
