Kinnock Sacked

Unelected Labour party member Glenys Kinnock has been removed from her post as Minister for Europe, and moved to deal with Asia and Africa. The spectre of unelected politicians wielding such influence is not healthy for democracy, and New Labour has fallen guilty of this whether it's farcical Lordships for Alan Sugar, elevating questionable neocons like Digby Jones and David Freud or bringing in Peter Mandelson, it isn't really democracy. Governments need advisors from the "real world" but a Second Chamber of a legislature should surely be manned by elected accountable politicians.

Kinnock's replacement is former Tory Chris Bryant, but luckily he knows alot about Europe, as under decades of rule by his two parties the area he represents has become and steadily remained one of the poorest areas in the whole of the European Union. When Jill Evans MEP pointed out that Wales' EU funding status should not be celebrated, Bryant launched an opportunistic attack on her claiming that she did not support European funding. He will almost certainly continue to be an unthinking Government loyalist in his new role, having no impact whatsoever.
