		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing, but Gordon Brown&#8217;s interview in the Independent today shows him to be just the latest in a long line of converts to the Big Society.
Here are some choice quotes:
&#8220;We&#8217;re just recovering from the 1980s,&#8221; says Bryan. &#8220;We know what works.&#8221; Brown nods grimly. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A deal will have to be done. The Liberal Democrats are the (very) weak kingmakers. There is &#8211; somewhere &#8211; a deal that can be acceptable to Cameron and Clegg. The main ‘national interest’ issues are restoring stability to the economy, resolving our situation in Afghanistan and reforming how government resources are allocated. Voting reform [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What was the most important political event of last week? Was it the volcanic ash sponsored travel chaos? Was it Cleggmania? Was it the Sky News debate? For me the event which will have most impact on Election 2010 was the release of a slew of economic data showing the recovery to be finely balanced.

I don’t know his name but for ease I will call him ‘Appealing Gordon’. Good-looking Gordon is on his own, marching along a lonely road in the middle of nowhere. He needs some fellow hikers.

It is about trusting people to know what solutions best fit their daily lives. The PBAge is about state institutions opening up resources so that individuals and communities can choose how they use them. The relationship between government and governed [...]]]></description>

While this begs a number of questions (who got the initial calculations THAT wrong? Why were the banks so focused on short-term gain that they didn&#8217;t delay their bonus payments? Why were the banks able to [...]]]></description>

I had seen the clips, and the pre-briefing, and the rolling back from the &#8216;floods of tears&#8217; at the beginning of the week to the &#8216;welling up&#8217; on Thursday and decided that while I feel desperately sorry for the Brown family in many ways, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gordon Brown’s deathbed conversion to the cause of electoral reform is surely one of the most cynical acts in modern British politics.
Don’t forget that Labour were elected in 1997 on a mandate to have a referendum on electoral reform, just as they were elected in 2005 on a mandate of a referendum on Lisbon.  What [...]]]></description>
