Richard Littlejohn, in today's Daily Mail as a humourous, sometime scurrilous, article on Lord Mandelson. It is worth reading to see the reinstatement of offender, and restoration of favour.
As a sample Littlejohn summarises,
"It is simply accepted as perfectly natural that an unelected recidivist, twice forced to resign from government in disgrace, should be parachuted into the House of Lords by an unelected, utterly discredited Prime Minister and proclaimed 'the most powerful man in Britain'".
It fits in with a party which issues a communication allowance to enable Labour MPs to try to save their seat, which restricts FE building to colleges in labour marginals, and which regularly uses opublic money to buy votes (- hence the burrying of the report on public money to Longbridge.)
There may be some sort of distorted version of democracy here, but if so, I fail to see it.
