Happy Birthday Mr Prime Minister

Not Marilyn Monroe but a very cool birthday present for Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi from his party.

A somewhat scary example of the extent to which politics has become a cult of personality rather than a forum of ideas.

I wonder if the Four Fat Drabs will get back together after their No 1 hit at the Liars conference to do one for Helens birthday?

In fact this video was used during the recent electoral campaign.
Veltroni had a similar video, based on the YMCA tune

Johnboy asks:

Personally, I’m awaiting their rendition of a more appropriate tune.

I particularly like this verse:

The simple truth is clear to see
Time to surrender, let it be
There’s nothing here for us to hold on to

I think he understands that politics is about emotion, not policy. Getting votes is largely an emotional, visceral exercise. Hardly anyone cares about policy. The right has to learn this! Winston is a perfect example – that winning grin, and all is forgiven.
