The Point of this Blog

The reasoning behind this blog goes something like this:

1. I don't have a very interesting life.
2. I want a blog that I can call my own
3. I don't want to bore people rigid.

It occurred to me that these three things were incompatible if I were to write about my life, which as we have established is not very interesting. So I decided to write about politics.

I hear people object that this isn't very interesting either.

Ah well, that's where you're wrong. I will be writing about the pulverising debate that will sweep our nation over the coming months, where the destiny of our lives will be decided. The tide of humanity will come crashing against the dam of rhetoric, and calamitous forces shall be unleashed (enter Michael Howard, stage right).

This is a task and finish blog. The task - to derive mirth from the posturing, promises and (occasional) policy. The finish - Election Day.

Drum roll please.
