Who Else Loves An Election?
I might be unfashionable to say so, but I'm really looking forward to next year's elections for the Scottish Parliament. I don't hold with the view that "politics is boring" and that we should pretend the whole thing isn't happening. And I strongly disagree with Billy Connoly's oft-stated belief: "don't vote...it only encouages them!"
Here at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, however, we've already started planning for next year's event and there are various brainstorming groups gathering in small rooms to discuss how we cover the campaign and the drama of the count. I've already ruled out a three dimensional computer graphics package for our radio coverage. That would just be showing-off.
Now, I'm sort the of bloke who , on election night, will gladly sit glued to the radio, television and computer screen...following every declaration. But I know I may be in the minority.
So, if you have any suggestions on how we approach next year's vote, please let us know.
