If I go ahead, it will be called The Progressive Rock Party. Should we ever get into power, my cabinet would include as animal rights minister, as sports minister, as foreign secretary, as minister for health and as minister of transport. The all-important job of minister of arts would go to , and all the press and media would be overseen by ’s Jerry Ewing.
I would end every parliamentary session with a concert, which would be televised by UKTV Gold. The programme would be presented by Ricky Gervais. The Progressive Rock Party would go on to form its own multi-nation parliament with The European Progressive Rock Union, and we would invite all the countries who are pissed off with their own politics to join us.
I accept this would present problems as the likelihood is that that once the Progressive Rock Union is up and running, the only country left in the EU would be Germany. I admit, there’s a lot of work to do before we can get to this stage. We would also need to prepare for our first conference, which would coincide with the current political parties’ conferences – although ours would be held in Glastonbury, as part of the festival.
Televised debates would be part of and would be re-launched as . Sign up below to get the latest from Prog,.
