tv debate...

feeling very cynical about the leaders debate on tv tonite.
from 'television, drug of the nation' by the disposable heroes of hiphoprisy...

...T.V. is
the stomping ground for political candidates...
T.V. is mechanized politic's
remote control over the masses...
It's the perpetuation of the two party system
where image takes precedence over wisdom
Where sound bite politics are served to
the fastfood culture
Where straight teeth in your mouth
are more important than the words
that come out of it...

i think cameron will probably come out of it best.
not because he's got anything valuable or important or even particularly intelligent to say, but almost precisely the opposite - because he's a PR man, and he'll be more slick than the other two.
it's hugely frustrating that for years blair was pilloried for being more style than substance, and yet now there's a real chance that we could end up with someone like cameron in charge...
