Well, I have no idea, but as far as I am aware, no Member of Parliament has ever purchased any of my wines, either out of their own pockets, or at the tax-payers' expense. Which just goes to show what a bunch of tasteless numpties we have running the country. I think questions ought to be asked in the Commons - though, to be honest, I don't think my marketing budget would stretch that far.
Joking aside, I am faced with the very real prospect (for the first time in my adult life) of either abstaining or spoiling my ballot paper at a general election. Unfortunately, we have yet to introduce "none of the above" as a voting option. If we did, the "None Of The Above Party" would have a good chance of being elected by a landslide. The state of UK politics is now in such a sorry state that it is a bit like drugs in cycling - the only way to redeem its reputation is to pursue a policy of rooting-out the cheats until only the "clean" ones are left. I fear it will be a long and bloody battle, with many casualties. Who on earth do these people think they are, that they can treat democracy with such contempt?
