A rather amusing post on Comment Central drawing on news from Australia that there are plans afoot to make politiciains have breathalyser testing to ensure they're not pissed before they voteThis is because our antipodean brethren politicians have been caught doing all sorts of manner of silly things when bladdered, such as the Police minister who was demoted after allegedly doing a "dirty" dancing routine in his pants over the chest of a female colleague at a drunken post-budget office party*.
The whole politician in his underwear and an embarassing situation sounds familiar doesn't it? (see picture of Chris Bryant MP). Anyhow, one politician said,
"Honestly, if you are going to have breathalyzers for people driving cranes you should have breathalyzers for people writing laws"I'm sure the House of Lords, let alone the Commons, will be rolling in their warm fleecey blankets at the news and very idea of it. Still, if it had been a requirement here the alleged "conspiracy of silence" about Charles Kennedy being an alcoholic would not have been able to exist.
* I dread to think what a Darling hosted party might be like *shudders*

It makes you wonder wether the electorate should be breathalised before voting after keeping these bastards in for so long.
if it wasnt for the fine head of hair I would have sworn that was Malcolm Powers scouting property locations 'down under'in advance of his much planned move to OZ after the nxt election[defeat]...
Cocaine testing of cabinet members for those who have the "balls" to comply, wouldnt go a miss
