From time to time I stop up late and watch the weekly political show This Week.   Last night was the first time I saw the wonderful political operator in the flesh – Miss Molly, Andrew Neil’s dog.   From searching the internet it would seem that she make guest appearances from time to time and if last night performance was a guide to past experiences she would seem to sum what much of the country was thinking.   Whilst three politicos argued about this or that Molly show not the slightest interest and every time she was in the shot she totally destroyed the point being made.   She was a perfect metaphor for the interest the majority of people in Britain have in  politics – not a jot.

So in the forthcoming election should you decide to vote – few will – when you have to make a decision ask yourself – ‘…what would Molly do?…’   It is probably the best advice you’ll ever get on the state of British politics.
