Vote 2005 - The Campaign Trail
The election has been called, Tony Blair’s not packing and the parties are out in force. The prospective Conservative Member of Parliament has already called round my house, but I wasn’t in. Wife was, but she didn’t ask the candidate anything.
I hope next time they call, I will be in, so I can ask them really dumb questions and see how stupid I can get away with sounding. They’ll buy it, too because they have to be so nice to get your vote and the dumber I get the funnier it will be.
I’d ask where they stand on public transport and listen to their rehearsed answer. When they are finished I’d say, “But where do you stand on public transport? Like when there ain’t no seats.”
