With Brown out of office no-one will need Mandelson enough to put up with him. Although of course he will still be a peer.

Unless you replace the House of Lords with an elected Senate, like we should have done half a century ago. It is true that the House of Lords has, for some years, been the most successful and effective part of our Parliamentary system, but that's not really saying a whole lot.

 

Thanks to Radio 4 I now hear the emperor's music from Star Wars every time I see Mandelson on TV.

 

If the theory is that it shouldn't work and it does, my money's on reality, not the theory.

 

 

I agree that he should really be officially referred to as Darth Mandelson.
