It may be fate or simply synchronicity but this is the year we must have an election and also the last year of the Big Brother TV reality show. So why don’t we combine the two events and put all prospective candidates for Member Of Parliament in the big brother house? We would have to make sure they were not claiming expenses for the house while they were there, of course.
We could keep them there during the election campaign and for some time afterwards. It would make for fascinating television as they attacked each other. In fact it could be that only one would survive and he, or she, would have to be Prime Minister but the best part would surely be that the election would be held and they wouldn’t know the result.
It would be wonderful to see the losing side continuing to claim to be the only people who knew how to run the country even after we all knew they had lost. Can you imagine the fun we could all have watching those who claim to be so superior to the rest of us behaving like complete idiots. Oh, it sounds like so much fun.
Sadly I can see a flaw in this idea. Between the lot of them I doubt they could manage to run the house. They all admit they are incapable of running the Postal Service so they want to privatise it and we have seen what happens when they try to run the country so what likelihood is there that they could run the Big Brother house? They would probably all end up starving because none of them could sort out the feeding arrangements. I wonder if they would turn to cannibalism? They do say that politics is a dog-eat-dog world.
