Political Report Cards
This is a truly brilliant idea. Sarkozy is issue his ministers with an “end of term report card” which will be based on 30 indicators specific to their portfolio for Cabinet ministers, and results in 15 areas for junior ministers. Such a brilliant idea!
If a government is truly be accountable to citizens, it must be possible to know precisely how they are performing - and this is an utterly brilliant way to do it.
Now, has anyone got any ideas about the sort of marks that should be given to our government ministers…? I doubt that anyone of them would score very high.

Would they have to be as vague and positive as school reports though?
“A lively student” - Uncontrollable
“Shows good leadership potential” - Instigator of all the problems in class
“Often has his head in his books” - Falls asleep at his desk
“Creative” - Thinks of great excuses why he hasn’t done his homework
And so on…
Better ask the management team in Brussels to set the criteria, it is already within scope it seems.
It would be amusing to have them published. Another option is to create a web site where the citizens can provide their own report card on Government Ministers. I think that would be illuminating.
