Electoral Reform is boring

Electoral Reform. Is any topic more boring? Oh, sure, Lib Dems love PR. This is the moment, apparently. I’m not convinced. If there’s one thing people don’t want it’s political parties obsessed with the ins and outs of how one becomes a professional politician for a living.

First past the post? Proportional Representation? Kill me now, please. I am chronically bored. I’d write about Cameron stealing Nick Clegg’s agenda (and doing very well with it), telling us what reforms he’s going to ‘look at’ (I can ‘look at’ cacophagy, doesn’t mean for a second I’m going to do it), but.. oh .. I can’t do it. The subject’s just too boring.

At the end of the day, Cameron knows he’s not allowed to talk about Europe. Not because it’s divisive, but because it’s so awesomely boring and most people, even if they have an opinion, find themselves glazing over when the subject comes up.

Electoral Reform (and Europe) is the ultimate Windbag’s Windbaggery. I might be suggesting something. I’m not sure.

Update: Hey someone did write something interesting about PR. Thank you, Daily Mash.
