From Gordon Brown to Mr Bean - join the dots

December 5, 2007 by owersby

Everyone in Lib Dem Land has been falling over themselves with excitement at the positive coverage generated by Vince’s comic depiction of the Prime Minister.

Yet no one seems to have stated the obvious conclusion.

Earnest Lib Dems spend hours torturing themselves to come up with a narrative that reconciles the conflicts between liberty and equality. Or they work themselves into a frenzy convincing others that their detailed analysis of their favourite policy is the Holy Grail of election winners.

And the party gets the best coverage it has had for years as a result of a cracking one-liner.

You’re smart - you figure it out…

The only way the party will get constant media exposure is by a clear narrative as to why LVT and STV are the prime reasosn for our existence. Nay other combination of the letters TV in terms of assessing our media profile are just froth.
