					<description><![CDATA[I think what must really irk the &#039;players &#039; in the book is the fact that they have been recorded, along with the benefits so bestowed,  in a publication which has a shelf life of more than 5 years.

The stroke of genius is that the publication can be revived in 4 years&#039; time when the PM and  those featured in the book will be banking on most people having forgotten  what went on in 2013/4.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It was a mistake only in that it was compiled too late in the campaign. 

My opinion is that the album should be updated and sent round right up to the next election. This is what wins elections. People need to have things drummed into them. That is what the PL does so well.]]></description>
