		<description>Careful what you wish for. If a politician starts a blog then we have to hire 23 people to manage it, plus focus groups, advisory boards and so on ad nauseum. :)</description>

I can understand why a lot of them don't though. It would be problematic if they started speaking their minds :)

		<description>Agreed, absolutely Michele. I have been advising politicians of all shades to blog for at least 6 months now. I'm happy to see &lt;a href="http://www.michaelturley.com/home/"&gt;Michael Turley&lt;/a&gt; has returned to blogging after a bit of a hiatus.

Having said that, Brendan Tuohy is a civil servant, not a politician which, to my mind, makes the fact that he blogging all the more interesting!</description>
