Cross dressing in politics

Well, I never thought I'd live to see the day that I'd be blogging about cross dressing in politics. Cue British Prime Minister Tony Blair: "The era of tribal politics is over".

In the UK, it's either Labour or Conservative, and if you're really p'd off with either of them you go for the Liberal Democrats. That is, if they're not tearing themselves apart. It's been that way for sort-of 80 years I think. Don't see it changing overnight. But Tony Blair thinks it has already changed. We've got cross dressing in politics. Ideas from either political party have morphed into one amorphous, indistinguishable mess.

Cross dressing in politics, oh dear, what an unfortunate simile. Transvestites in parliament? Hermaphrodytes more likely. Oh, I agree that political parties have nicked each other's ideas on a grand scale over the last decade or so. And I don't see that much of a difference between Tony Blair and his conservative opposite number David Cameron. I dislike both of them. No, I think Tony should talk about hermaphrodytes in politics. Both male and female at the same time, slimey and crawling along at snail's pace. A poor snail can't help being hermaphrodyte. A politician can. You either have principles and stick to them - or get out of your political party. Or did I get that wrong too? You only get into politics if you have jettisoned all your morals and principles and are prepared to ride rough-shod over all and everybody for your personal glorification.

Well, in the case of Tony Blair, he should cross-dress to look like a puppet of George W. Bush over in Washington. See what that comes out like. The MP for Texas NW?
