Hair today
My suggestion that the rush towards the centre ground is leaving us ever-so-slightly short of big ideas seems to have struck a chord. In the 60s they called the consensus Butskell-ism (after Butler & Gaitskell in case you're too young to remember). What now I wonder? Blameron-ism? All suggestions gratefully received.
Now I am contractually required to stay neutral but here on my blog I can confess to veering towards the Lib Dems now that it's clear that they're to pick a baldie as leader - whether it's Ming, Mark or Simon. Even between them they couldn't muster a full head of the stuff.

With all the commotion abou in the news, the first thing that pops into my mind when thinking of Sir Menzies Campbell is the bad guy from Flash Gordon. Which is rather unfortunate!
My fear is that the Lib Dems will swing largely to the authoritarian right, and be controlled by Ming the Merciless!
Or perhaps my imagination is getting the better of me.
Who was the last bald PM? I assume Margaret Thatcher was not wearing a wig?
Surely after the Torys' disasters with folically challenged leaders in the forms of William Hague and IDS, the LibDems have got to be looking for someone with a full head of hair?
"Blameronism" might have too short a shelf life, what with Gordon's patience running thin and the Tories penchant for changing riders every year or so. How about "MORing" from "Middle of the road", which in music is bland inoffensive stuff that deliberately avoids any extremes.
Bald is of course a good choice for a new leader for the LibDems. Clear middle ground with no preference for a parting to either the left or the right.
It seems that the three main parties aren't so similar as some would have us believe. After all, wasn't David Cameron elected as Tory leader solely because he has lots of hair?
