Congratulations Chris Cowin

Chris Cowin has won our first “commenter of the week” prize (a bottle of House of Commons champagne) for this insightful metaphor. Well done, Chris!

“Gordon Brown can be compared to the driver of a bus which has been travelling a rough and bumpy road. On taking the wheel, he promises the passengers that from now on the road will be smooth and there will be no more “Boom and Bust”. He drives carefully along a fine new highway and all is well. But then a storm breaks out and the bus is buffeted from side to side. The passenger s at the back complain loudly that they were misled, that it is just as uncomfortable as before – but Gordon must not waste time arguing with them. He has to concentrate on driving the bus.”

Get commenting and you could be the next winner!
