I miss ceefax/teletext. I used to love Digitiser on Channel 4 - about computer games but with some very surreal and absurdist humour.
I like the idea of candidates having to live in the constituency for 4 years beforehand. Especially when I look at my postal ballot and see only one lives in the constituency - and the Tory candidate lives in Kensington...
On a serious note, I think 22 should actually be a requirement. Maybe not 4 years, but some sort of solid link to the local area should be shown.
No chance, 1. Only if they take their aunties with them. And 7. Why should we have to pay towards the space bridge. Wasn't the supertram enough.
My pledges as candidate for Barnsley central. Under the office of the Cyndi lauper fan club. 1.Put a levy on every other teams season tickets of £10. To promote Barnsley football club. Worldwide. And invest in the Club. 2. Give Barnsley (and only Barnsley) 6 points for a win and reduce leeds to 2. 3. Give Barry Murphy the Freedom of Barnsley. 4. Ban Olives 5. Shut down every hotel in the country until they provide tinned plum tomatoes instead of Grilled salad ones, On an English Breakfast. 6. Give all residents of Barnsley (over 18's only) An id card to purchase alcoholic drinks at a third of the normal price. 7. Make Percy's pork pies a mandatory part of everyones diet. 8. Put all those who invest their money in offshore accounts to avoid tax. Offshore in the middle of Elsecar pond. Surrounded by man eating sharks. 9. As reference to 8. Make that all Tories. 10. Last but not least. Make Ronnie the head of the Royal family. All hail the King.
