Conventional Wisdom Index: Week 4

So who's had a good week? Are their fortunes on the up or on the wane? My Conventional Wisdom Index seeks to track the fortunes of the major players in British politics. Next installment next weekend. Maybe by then we'll be able to use an upward narrow for a change...

Tony Blair
Could hardly have been worse. When will the Inspector come knocking?
David Cameron
Voices on the right beginning to ask: Where's the beef?
Ming Campbell
Emerged from 3 week silence to call Tories 'unpleasantly right wing'. So much for the end of punch and judy.
Gordon Brown
Fashion faux pas on African trip. Gives impression of wanting to give more money towards African education than our own
Labour Party
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Who'd be a Labour local election candidate?
Conservative Party
A week away from the headlines
Liberal Democrats
A fourth week away from the headlines. But more importantly have avoided becoming involved in honours scandal
George Bush
You know you're in trouble when you have to issue a ststement of support to Rumsfeld
Reputation of Politics
Can it go any lower?

So the only person to have a good week was the Risen Christ.

A Happy & Blessed Easter to you!

David Cameron - for a man who was so heavily involved in the drawing up of the Conservative 2005 election manifesto he has so far not actually come up with any substantial policies. So far I think he has just mentionned the environment a few times.
