I noted with rye amusement this morning on Lord Malloch-Brown, when seeing his contribution on the parliament channel in a debate on Zimbabwe. A particular point stuck out to me – (Lord Malloch-Brown) the electoral register is not accurate; the electoral commission is not independent; and the opposition parties are not permitted to campaign. These features he has mentioned are all either implemented by the Labour in this country or proposed by Labour MP’s i.e. the prevention of campaigning of Tories by not allowing them to campaign between elections. :lol: - :lol: - :lol: So an unelected peer appointed by an unelected and mandatless manipulator (Brown) . Lectures on democracy – I would laugh if it was not such a series subject.
ReplyDeleteI have copied and pasted the contents Lord Malloch-Brown contribution below:

27 Mar 2008 : Column 626
The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Lord Malloch-Brown): My Lords, the conditions for elections in Zimbabwe are poor: the electoral register is not accurate; the electoral commission is not independent; and the opposition parties are not permitted to campaign and hold rallies freely nor are they being given fair access to media. It is important for the credibility of those that do send observers that they ensure that Zimbabwe’s election meets the SADC principles and guidelines.
one thing i loved about Bob Pipers Blog is the 'Blogs i like' lists. he lists them under the categories of:

Wishy-washy Liberals
Brilliant!
7. "Kevin Maguire is impressed by Brown speaking without notes. Funny he castigated Dave for doing the same thing."
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't castigating Cameron for speaking without notes but for claiming that it was off the cuff, whereas it was written by a Tory speechwriter and was much rehearsed.
Brown's speech was probably written for him and was rehearsed but he didn't try to pretend otherwise.
