Vote early, vote often - that's how we got Dubya re-elected
» Posted on November 4, 2004 08:27 PM » Category: General

Time to make the Jenkins Rule a bit more structured. On an entirely arbitrary basis, here's a selection from which you can choose a winner of the inaugural Sir Simon Jenkins award.

I have ruled out all politicians and Grauniad columnists - a bit too obvious (and although 'French foreign policy' isn't corporeal, I'm allowing it). I'm leaving out those such as Michael Moore who are so entirely without merit that they would warp the poll. Candidates have to some credibility (however spurious).

So if you caught the voting bug on Tuesday, or can't wait until May, take part in a vote which really matters. I appreciate it's an impossible decision to make - how does one choose between so many brilliant candidates - but to govern is to choose. Get governing...
















Who is the most reliably wrong-headed?
Sir Simon Jenkins
Tim Garton Ash
Mary Dejevsky
French foreign policy
Sir Max Hastings
AN Wilson
Fergal Keane
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown
Jackie Ashley
John Humphrys

UPDATE:
I'm afraid George Monbiot falls into the Michael Moore category: obvious lunacy.

Fair play though - Garton Ash is normally reliable when he sticks to his specialist field of central / east European politics and history. It's only when he looks westward that things go askew.

I'm petitioning to get George Monbiot on the ballot please.

What about Sir Menzies Campbell?

Stated by: Jonathan on November 4, 2004 11:26 PM

I'd drop Jackie Ashley from the ballot, as she's pretty much a Guardian standby.

I'm writing in Polly Toynbee!

Why the YazzMonster? Yes she's barking; yes she's consistently wrong.
But when was the last time you read a piece by her where you didn't disagree with her view beforehand? Surely we are looking for a moral compass who can guide our way in cases where we are not sure.
Anybody can be wrong in a specialist area. Surely the winner of the Sir Simon Jenkins Award should be able to demonstrate a consistent ability to be wrong across the field.
The French Foreign Office meets this criterium with flying colours, having been wrong on pretty much every major issue for a generation (with only the isolated lapse of being right over the Falklands spoiling an otherwise perfect record). Africa, the Middle East, European Army, eurofighter, the war against terrorism, support and training for most of the world's bloodiest dictators - the French have a proven record.

This comment has been authorised by the Campaign Committee for the French Foreign Office. Vote French foriegn policy - you know they don't make sense

The Yazzmonster doesn't make sense either, except in her own delusional mind. She is so consumed with hatred of Britain and the West that she approaches every subject from a point of view that has absolutely no contact, however tangential, with the real world. It is the inability to use reality as a starting point that makes her endorsement of any stance such a reliable indicator of moon-battery. The Yazzmonster is blinded by sheer hatred and venom.

A vote for the Yazzmonster is a vote for tolerance and rationality.

And what would someone who uses infantilism's like "Yazzmonster" and "moon-battery" know about the real world, beyond what any 4 year old might know?

As for Vote early, Vote often, it's a sound strategy, as recommended by the new Mayor of Kabul, Hamid Kharzai, who told a press conference -

"With regard to multiple registration of voters, we don’t really know if 1,000 people or 2,000 people or 3,000 people or 100,000 people have two registration cards. And as a matter of fact, it doesn’t bother me. If Afghans have two registration cards because they like to vote twice, well, welcome. This is an exercise, then let them exercise it twice. "

I think you are going to have to go a long way to beat the original and the best. The number of times I have clicked on a Times Analysis link with a seemingly sensible headline only to have to close down the window once I realised it was Jenkins writing...

Stated by: Patrick Crozier on November 6, 2004 8:56 PM

Patrick, I thought Chomsky was the original and the best. But others may differ. So many lefty pundits, so little time ... and time always endorses the opposite view as having been the correct one.

The others on Stephen's list (sauve France) are all, I feel, misguided in the sense that they feel loftier, under the sincere delusion that they understand the issues and the rest of us don't. They are the chosen. Yasmin Alibaba is motivated by hatred of her adopted country, which makes her more repellent, in my view.

Don't forget to add Kofi Annan, especially given his recent and utterly contemptible pronouncement regarding Falluja.

Stated by: Jonathan on November 7, 2004 12:33 PM

To this list should be added Canada whose PM has just been to France to kiss Chirac's backside and get his orders, cutting out the UN as the middle man
