Melting Snowdon Student politicians tend to have big ego's but are any as big as that of one Dan Snowdon's ? The University of London Union Vice President (Welfare) proclaims on his blog that he wants to be the first Liberal Democrat Prime Minister! Which says volumes about what he thinks Ming's chances are.

Mr Snowdon appears a bit confused about how to become PM as he has launched a bid to become the next failed Lib Dem candidate to be Mayor of London. No Dan you need to be in Parliament to be Prime Minister, you'll work it out eventually.

But Dan is not alone in his quest to become Mayor he is seeking the advice of failed mayoral candidate, failed party leadership candidate and nasty anti gay by-election candidate but that doesn't stop him from being bi , why did the word hypocrite spring into my mind Simon Hughes. Hopefully Hughes can set the lad straight ie even though the Lib Dems are desparate they are not that desparate as to need his services.

And what of the fantasy policies has this guy got. Well for starters there is an increase in the discount to 50% on student fares paid for by making under 16's pay. That'll help tackle the one in three London kids brought up in poverty.

Next up is his "Big Policy"pedestrianising areas of central London including Soho and Covent Garden, from 9am to midnight. There would be licensed Black cabs waiting outside the exclusion zone and this is the best bit. They are going to be subsidised by council tax.

Let me get this right this guy wants hard pressed council tax payers not to fund education in their own borough's or even get home help for frail old people he wants to subsidise binge drinkers, tourists and rich business men on the piss, that sound like taking the piss to me.

Genius.  ¶ 6:38 pm
