If Parliament Is Not Dead, It's Certainly Not Very Well

At about 4.15pm today the BBC announced that there would be no General Election held this year or next.

Throughout its 10 years in power, the Labour government has consistently and continuously ignored parliamentary process and chosen to unveil its plans by talking to its friends in the media.

Today's news, which should have been announced in the House of Commons where the Prime Minister would have been subject to more stringent questioning than that of Andrew Marr , is just the latest example of this.

When anointed PM, Gordon Brown promised a return to trust & integrity in politics; his cynical photo opportunities and spin-driven press releases highlight that the emperor has only acquired some new clothes
