Blob-head in Blue.

OK how do we get Big Brother into politics? How do we get the lisping pansy, the curly haired post and polyurethane varnished blob-head into the Big Brother House? It’s going to take a massive effort folks but we can do it. They are our public servants so we have a right to know how they really are in our real world of wall-to-wall CCTV. I mean are we really interested in their policies and manifestos when they bear no relation to what they end up doing? No. Are we interested in their ‘middle class equivalent of Blind Date’ televised debates? No, we want and have a right to know how they are as real people relating to real people. Put Margaret Thatcher in with a selection of norms for three weeks and she’d have trouble getting a job as a teaching assistant; no dis to teaching assistants, they’re just not intending to run the country. And they would learn a thing or two about being a single parent, an unemployed Skins resident, a pointless, indebted undergraduate and a pompous middleclass Marxist. But how can we make it happen? Could this idea go viral and lead to the mother and father of all e-petitions? If the audience of Big Brother, say 10 million, all voted for it it would be hard to ignore. Might I suggest, “We the undersigned believe our democracy is being undermined by professional politicians, public disinterest and a wide spread lack of respect for the process of government. In an effort to rekindle a healthy public involvement in the political process, widen the experience of politicians and allow the voting public to make informed electoral decisions leading politicians of all parties must spend a period of two weeks in the Big Brother house to be broadcast nationally in the year preceding a general election. They should share the house with at least double their number of the general public selected at random.” So come on blob-head, lets see the colour of your underwear.
