Nice Dream... if PMQs saw #PMQs

Ok... I accept it... I'm pretty much pathological about Twitter, (I've even found myself using #hashtags in text messages) so this has quickly become a Blog about 'Stuff on Twitter'

Today's big 'stuff on Twitter' is two-fold.
#Leveson has gone all light hearted... Sort of a Levity-son if you like that kind of strangled, kicked and beaten into shape pun. While they do their best impersonation of the 'And Finally' bit of a news broadcast it leaves me to Gawp at the Twitter 'Comedy Gold-a-thon' that is the #PMQs hashtag.

I've tried watching the live broadcast along with the #PMQs 'commentary'. Unfortunately seeing a large number of grey looking, be-suited twonks, 'Harrumphing' whenever they deem their side to have scored a point is far less interesting than reading all the incredulous, snarky and sometimes hilariously insulting comments hurled at those same Twonks.

Maybe it's because this is the 'spectacle' bit of politics that makes it so unappealing. it seems to be the let-off-steam 'naked wrestle' the leaders have to go through before swanning off to brief the press about how they: "Utterly disagree with each other, despite the fact they both plan to do the same thing, although we had the idea first... Honest"

Now imagine how much better this spectacle would be if they could see the #PMQs Twitter feed... On a huge screen... So big they have to bow to the all knowing hive-mind GOD that is Twitter...

Well... Maybe I went overboard a bit there, but it would be nice for them to be able to see all the Labour supporters Tweeting:
"For God's sake Ed, stop doing that thing with your face, you look like a cartoon octopus posessed by the Ghost of Gordon Brown"
For Cameron to see:
"Lay off the Smug... Really... lay off the smug. You look like a Vacuum salesman who has just discovered the auto-erotic joy of the suction hose"
For Clegg to see:
".........."

Ok, fair enough... Nobody says anything about Nick Clegg anymore, funny or otherwise.

But there could be a genuine benefit to this idea (after you'd manage to find a filter that would keep out all the 'Pricks' 'Bellends' 'Wankers' etc)

A lot of decisions are passed through 'Focus groups'. Small bands of 'representative' people supposed to stand for all of us. But with currnt technology we have a massive Hive Mind, just waiting to be consulted like an all seeing oracle.

Imagine if Gove had jurned to the Twitter Deity and asked "Erm, should we give the Queen a Massive Yacht as a present?"
The Hive mind could have then immediately answered: "Fuck off, she can try and win one through a rigged competition like everyone else"

Then Cam could dash in and bluster. "Not with your money... Honestly... We'll get it sponsored... It will be the Royal and Compare The Market.com Yacht and floating museum of pictures of Meekats that have suddenly lost all their 'cute' appeal and are now seen by most as vermin to be stamped on"
...which is kind of what happened in real life anyway... Although we didn't get to see it on #PMQs
