l linked this last week to the Spiegel articles on dinner parties and Presidential selections, protests and gender. Dan Hannan is quite the writer, tweeter and resignee at the moment. He blogs the Telegraph and even does the odd article on poetry which l did enjoy. Yesterday (Shock, Horror) he did an article for the Guardian. Since our political debate tends to totty and smearfests , l thought to link it here : http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...eans-democracy
