I thin...Thanks Tony I agree and I think you should! I think there is more passion in some that others. In order of ranking from most to least passionate, my order would be Patience, Tim, Barry, John, Anthony and Geoff (as I perceive them rather than what they actually are of course)Jon Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792245973965010468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666579996787484678.post-4041936559103680822012-10-31T17:47:42.162+00:002012-10-31T17:47:42.162+00:00I for one would like to see more passion! We seem ...I for one would like to see more passion! We seem to have adopted "Keep passion out of Politics" as a slogan. I've only seen the Aylesbury hustings video, but it's so <i><b>civilised</b></i>! One question each, one answer, no come-back, no arguments, no howls of derision when a candidate says something stupid, no jeers and cheers, no throwing rotten fruit. Well ok, perhaps not the rotten fruit. Where's the passion? What do these people really <b>believe</b> in? "I'm passionate about <whatever>" has become a meaningless cliché. Put the candidates under a bit of pressure from the crowd and see how they cope: perhaps their true colours and strengths will come out.<br /><br />Either that or subject them to an Apprentice-style final interview. "Your CV's rubbish, isn't it, Mr X? You say you managed a £100m budget but actually you only drew up the annual accounts didn't you?" I could do it. In fact I volunteer.TonyOX3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11804134780406982297noreply@blogger.com
