They’ve managed to combat the strictures of our First-Past-The-Post electoral system to the point of getting their leader elected to Parliament. Meanwhile, Jenny Jones has just finished coming third in London’s mayoral elections, their campaign has brought them to third in London Assembly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simontkaye.com&#038;blog=1112229&#038;post=362&#038;subd=simonkaye&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

As expected, rock music purists are debating whether U2 is just too pop; whether this might be another symptom in the festival&#8217;s dumbing-down (Snoop Dogg, Beyonce and Jay-Z being among recent headlining artists). But the musical discussion has been [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simontkaye.com&#038;blog=1112229&#038;post=356&#038;subd=simonkaye&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It&#8217;s called Shouldn&#8217;t students put voting ahead of activism?, which was (I thought) a fairly uncontroversial thing to suggest.

It&#8217;s very likely, as many have pointed out, that he will eventually recommend lifting the cap on undergrad tuition fees, which currently stands at a little over £3,000. Whatever level fees end up at, I think we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=simontkaye.com&#038;blog=1112229&#038;post=337&#038;subd=simonkaye&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
