What is the meaning of life? In Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy the answer was worked out to be 42. Well they were wrong; it is 43. Think about it. David Cameron and Nick Clegg are both 43. The new Leader of Glasgow City Council is also, you guessed it, 43. I hope they are mature enough to take the decisions that go with the jobs. Personally, I think you should have a few grey hairs before rising to the top. In business I have seen so many young testosterone filled men wrecking large organisations.
Nick Clegg is promising to shake up the country, on par with the Great Reform Act.
This is heady stuff; I hope they don’t forget that they need to listen to the people. Look at the example of one of their predecessors; hundreds of thousands of us marched against the war in Iraq, but he didn't listen. These days, leaders surround themselves with fresh faced advisors and seem only to take their advice.
I would also like to listen to my readers, so if you have any comments, please let me know. It would help stimulate my grey matter, and I don't mean my hair.
