Checklist for a future fascist organisation, and a news item

  • Must have media-friendly name.
  • Promise to be transparent and free of corruption.
  • Promise to be different from all the 'old parties'.
  • Must have television-friendly charismatic leader known for his influence over the disaffected (note: daytime TV viewers are an excellent example of a target group)
  • Imprecise general policy views can be very easily attached to an underpinning of xenophobia, racial hatred and loathing of social welfare.
  • Support the reigning monarch for easy points. They can always be summarily abolished in the future.
  • Leader should have healthy tan.
In unrelated news today, tanned former daytime television presenter, Daily Express columnist, Labour MP and current MEP Robert Kilroy-Silk announced the name of his new political party: Veritas
