Saw that - looked just like PHs thing, however, I can tell this being ITV they're after sensationalism and extremism rather than anyone straight-and-honest.

I was incredibly thankful when that obese ex-porn star with a penchant for getting her kit off was voted out, because that's just the sort of person your typical ITV viewer likes. Same goes for the fraudster with overtones of Oswald Moseley.

I've got this nasty feeling there's going to be some support for the annoying lentilist bloke with the guitar, simply because lentilists will organise a jamming of the phone lines every time there's a chance. Hopefully he won't get through - he didn't appear to know what an 'economy' was.

An interesting series - I'll be interested to know where it goes from here.

Anything to do with reality on ITV is garbage designed for the weak minded to sit in front of and then discuss on internet forums.........oh......er....um............doh!!!!!!!

Never saw it though, probably lots of liberals on there since they have the biggest mouths for shouting down everyone and spouting irrational ideas.

Interesting fact, FIA Chief Max Moseley is Sir Oswald's son.

His website is quite interesting, even if you don't agree with him!

With all respect, the guy is a human copy of the Daily Mail letters page. Comes across as an amalgamation of UKIP and the BNP - dangerous bloke TBH but typical ITV chav response, it must be said.

And dare I suggest that this is not a PH thing as the intention was for the winner to stand in Michael Howards seat in Folkestone.

I believe the winner does intend to stand there. This is not what is needed to get the current government to see sense!

Yes people need to take a greater interest in politics, yes we need more people to vote, but this is not the way to go about it.

What we need is the politicans out on the streets talking to real people, not in TV Studios were the audience can be biaised, not in newspapers where the reporting can be biaised/

Can we also sack all spokesman and press releases? Why can't the media report on speeches that have been made, rather than speeches that will be made, then on the speech itself.

I say sack think tanks - people who can't find a 'real' job in the 'real' world shouldn't be determining government policy.
