Hamish Macdonell - Tavish TV

SOMEONE should tell politicians that its no good going after the 'youf' vote by adopting what they think are young and trendy communication methods.
Lib Dem leader Tavish Scott is the latest to fall for it, launching 'Tavish TV' on YouTube to get his message across.
It might have worked, had Tavish not decided to sit in his MSP's think pod, with a bright sky behind him spouting a complicated polemic about the intricate details of the Inter Faith Council and whether or not its funding had been resolved.
Lord Foulkes (see blogs passim) started this dubious craze, it didn't really work for him and it is even worse for Tavish.
You Tube? Absolutely.

Not so sure about "a complicated polemic" on the IFC issue - Tavish seemed to outline the issue clearly and succinctly, indeed since the debate was arguably born of nitpicking then he perhaps over-simplified the relevant details.

However, he's surely delusional towards the end if he thinks the process will make any difference.

But I suspect 'viewers' of Tavish TV will be too distracted by the ludicrous background to take the message in, but then perhaps that's the idea :0)
