&q...As a comrade put it over on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/solidblog" rel="nofollow">Facebook page</a>:<br /><br />" Adonis represents everything I most hate about politics in this country. Self interest at its worst.<br /><br />Never elected as a Member of Parliament he gets a peerage via the disgusting patronage system having jumped ship from the Lib Dems to Blairs New Labour project. In other words he finds himself in a position of power never once having been voted into it by the citizenry. He then supports this austerity imposing Tory Government by accepting the infrastructure posting.<br /><br />I would say how can anyone know what they are voting for, but in his case that would be entirely inappropriate. He is the embodiment of the establishment servant influencing no matter who is voted for by the electorate. You and I can vote for whomever we wish but we get Adonis no matter what.....but of course he believes he is acting in our best interests protecting us from our mistakes. Good of him.<br /><br />He says he believes in the parties working together. For this read complete lack of choice for the electorate. A continuation of the New Labour or Tory flavours of the same sweet.<br /><br />A healthy democracy depends upon real choice and differences. Just because you happen to agree with him on the EU does not mean he and those like him deserve any publicity at all."

I expect the continued use of top-down culture-war narratives (snowflake university students, blue passports) and the intensification of establishment panic about Russia and social media 'undermining our societies', whatever that means.
