Why Michael Crick?

Welcome to my blog! This is a blog to put down all things political, as and when they occur to me, hopefully in an interesting and informative way.

So, first of all, why 'would I be Michael Crick'? The answer is simple - this blog is to say all the things I would say to politicians if I were Michael Crick of BBC's Newsnight (or at least had his job) - running around, chasing politicians with microphones and generally asking them all the questions they hope they won't be asked. He also inadvertently provided THE funniest moment of the 2010 General Election!

Andrew Marr famously described bloggers as 'inadequate, pimpled and single' at the Cheltenham Literary Festival - I am none of those things! He also describes bloggers as very angry. This may be nearer the truth, but I think frustrated is the word. The 2010 General Election did not return any one party with a majority, and as a result, they seem to have ripped up their manifestos, to do whatever they please. On many issues, the country has simply not had a say, and the policies being pushed through the House of Commons are not minor alterations, but major, massive changes. And the public has no voice. So this is my voice.
