That's for the chattering classes.
Elections are a serious business.
There's no place for entertainment in elections - pace Geri, Jordan and the rest. Traditionally at election time, nobody wants to talk about the arts. For Labour, it undermines their credibility as the party of economic prudence and exposes them to the charge of being the plaything of their showbiz friends. Labour is still paying dearly for its decision after the 1997 election to invite Noel Gallagher and friends to No 10. The Tories, embarrassed by the very notion of culture, abide by the principle that it has little to do with the state, and that what creative types get up to in the privacy of their own garret is their own business.
