Channel4 discusses the possibility of a hung parliament with a series of sycophantic comments from Liberals and not much else. There are useful reminders in it to the electorate that the markets will assume that we’re all doomed and react accordingly though, although no pictures of the dead lying unburied […]

The irony of an advertisement for backpacks next to an article on looking out for dodgy looking camel-jockeys whilst on public transport is one to savour, but the article raises some interesting questions (for small values of interesting). What would happen if you called a conference and nobody came? On […]

Fair play to Tim Montgomerie over at ConservativeHome – last weekend he reproduced some dire political posters from the Dependent on Sunday and asked for better anti-Labour / pro-Tory ideas. Very brave of him, considering. Steve Green of the Daily Referendum blog entered this one, and Tim says that he […]

All of us at the AllSeeingEye hope that our readers have had a splendid Christmas and apologise for the pause in blogging. When it comes to priorities, family trumps just about everything. So, getting back in to the swing of things with a thought or two from across the Pond…. […]

Game, Set and Match methinks. This was Browns Press Conference with Sarkozy this morning. Brown and Darling didn’t fall out in the run up to the PBR it seems. In fact.

The next election will be fought on a variety of battlegrounds, not least the fact that Gordoom has been conducting UK economic policy with all of the subtlety and finesse of a Scorsese movie. TheEye is a firm believer in the lowest of taxes and the lightest possible touch of […]

TheEye has always believed that this universal franchise thing is much overrated. Votes for women, eh? And bring back the property franchise. Democracy (from the Greek ‘demos‘ meaning ‘people‘ and ‘cracy‘ meaning ‘stupid‘) all started going downhill after the 1932 Reform Act, basically…. However things may be looking up overseas. […]

It seems that the Mother Of All Parliaments is not alone in its system of Early Day Motions – that classic way to waste taxpayers’ money with trivial attention-seeking nonsense. Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who represents Arizona’s Sixth District, released the following statement regarding his vote against H.Res.784, a bill […]

Peter Kilfoyle MP has tabled an EDM opposing the coronation of Blair as President of the European Council. At least that’s what he probably means – there is no such job of President of the European Union…that’s just a phrase used by lazy journalists and ignorant backbench Labour MPs. This […]
