General Chat

Celebrity MP's? Esther Rantzen and David Van Day both wanting to stand for parliament in the next general election.

What do you think?

David Van Day???? O.M.G! are you sure??

David Van Day?????!!!!!! oh lord above, as an independent ?
I

Perhaps we , the public , will have to do phone in votes to elect them ?

*sticks glasses back on and re-reads*

David Van Day, he used to be in Dollar is that him? Are you serious??

Well I suppose it couldn't become any more of a pantomime than it is at present. Save for the few who are dedicated to serving their constituents without regard to the loot!

thought he was american?

Yes Whirls, that's the one. He was in the jungle with Esther (is this a conspiracy?)


Yep, it was on our local news that he wants to stand for parliament too.

I suppose they can't do a worse job than the clowns we've got running the country now...but I'm really not comfortable with the idea.

lol, from our reaction as a 'sample voting' he won't get in :))

David who ?

Oh crikes. When Dollar split (cos no one bought their records anymore) he set up a burger van, nothing wrong with that, but can't see him being an MP and I wouldn't vote for him.

Ole Es though, I recon she'd be ok.

Teresa...believe me I think he could do worse lol. I should think it's just a publicity stunt... after all his name hasn't been in the media for all of 4 weeks.

Joking apart if Esther is standing for the right reasons then I would think she could make quite a good MP.

That's what I was thinking Jean.

Esther is a seasoned campaigner, but not political. She said she will definitely stand if the Luton MP (forgot her name for now) does not stand down, and is seriously thinking of standing anyway.

You couldn't make it up could you? Yet if one of the ordinary folks in the street, like you or me, with some good ideas on how the country should be run fancied a bash, nobody would be interested

Well I think I should stand too then,especially if that David Van Day is going to LOL.

As long as you've got your £1000 you can Helen.

David V Day will always be turning up late for ministers' question time cos he will still be in the gents brushing his eyebrows and touching up his makeup! lol

I've always thought David Van Day was as mad as a GR member personally but who knows if he could make a good MP or not. Esther Rantzen is a different kettle of fish entirely and she might get my vote if I was in Luton. I've always quite admired her values.

Glenda Jackson has quite a good reputation as an MP didn't she?

Uggers, that's another flippin' keyboard you owe me! lol

Actually, he's worse than GR members, remember NOBODY got along with him in the jungle.

Well except Timmy Mallet but he doesn't count lol

Good point, Glenda Jackson did do well as an MP, but there's not comparison between Ms Jackson and Mr Van Day....lol
