Apologies for the title, but really, seriously, what is it we have now? The Liberal Democrats offered Proportional Representation. They slumped in the election losing seats, and retained their position as the third party in UK politics. The Labour Party offered a referendum on Alternative Vote PR. They lost 91 seats. The Conservatives said no [...]

Living as I currently do in Dublin, I see the Lisbon Treaty referendum happening all around me. I am a British citizen, so I have no vote. Quite right, citizens of other nations shouldn’t have a say on the constitution of Ireland. But, listening to the Marian Finucane show today, I know now that I [...]

I don’t usually comment on Irish politics. It is, after all, their country, and they can do whatever they want to it. But the latest posters for the Lisbon Treaty Referendum, put up by the intensely nasty campaign group Cóir should ensure that this referendum should be as nasty as they are. Let me be [...]

Never has there been a more confused and outrageously smug, self-concerned and out-of-touch election campaign fought in history
