The Electoral TV debate has now reached UK politics and it’s popularity is set to make it a future staple of the Election process, are we taking another step towards Personalities not Policies?.

After two of the three television debates already over and with instant polls and numerous thousand tweets on them, a lot of people are being more persuaded by the individual leader and not looking at the party and it’s policies. The majority of the talk has been about who is the most charismatic and engaging on a personal level.

The voters are not being won over by the hard facts and figures of each party but by who they like the most on a non- political level. Alright, we need to like who is in charge, but how they intend to run the country is what we should really be focussing on.

Poor old Labour will ultimately loose a lot of seats with dour and unapproachable Mr Brown, whereas The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats who are more savvy to the impact TV debates and new media can have on opinions are changing tactics to gain more votes.

Is our election process on a dumbed-downward spiral where parties are made almost obsolete by a candidate’s smile and personality?

For all those that have been following my Twitter you will have seen some of my updates and pictures of Frank as he progressed from original blank white elephant to his finished glory. Over the three weeks that I spent in the Elephant & Castle Shopping centre painting, spraying and sticking stuff to him I kept a photo/video diary which you can view in it’s entirety below - it’s 7minutes long so stick with it but 3 weeks is a long time to fit into a tiny video:

With the public becoming more aware of the range of environmental issues facing our planets future and with debate still raging on the human impact. Politicians and world leaders are stalling on how we are going to tackle it - will the natural world start fighting back before the policy makers leave it too late.

Lovable Boris Johnson with his astute intellect and bumbling persona is seen by many as a friendly and approachable character. A complete contrast to the more serious Ken Livingstone but is BoJo really the face and personality to represent London on the world stage, or does he turn London into a circus in the eyes of many.

A riving mass of twisted black plastic and metal moulding together out of a fog of electrical static - also known as the digital age in which we live in. Wireless communication and even a man on the moon but still there is no soloution to the mess of wires involved when listening to music. Two pieces, the first is a single colour the second highlighted with metallic silver.

I woke up on Wednesday to the vision of the new world that had arisen overnight from the ashes of republican America; wars had ceased, crime had just disappeared, poverty and disease no longer existed. This may be a slight exaggeration but if you had voted Barack Obama in the US presidential election it seems this is what you believed would happen.

Obama being sworn in is clearly a great moment in American and World history and will undoubtedly have a huge effect on how America is governed and perceived globally, but are people expected far to much from Barack? he seems to have been elevated from the realm of politician to messiah.

It’s creamy and ready for print, urban ice-cream is on its way to the printer and will be coming to a street near you soon, of course if they find themselves stuck to the walls illegally this has nothing to do with me or a crack team of knife toting hoodies - lets just put it down to magic.

For those of you reading this who are also regular visitors to Leinz you will already know this piece - It’s called Evolution and has been on my site for a while, but I thought it was about time to set the mice free from the confines of my hard-drive and let them run wild in the big wide world.

Evolution is a 2 colour stencil sprayed onto the reverse of a sheet of glass, giving a high gloss finish from the front. This is part of a series that will all soon be available to buy through my Art Shop - Don’t Touch It. to be ahead of the curve and get info as soon as the shop is open please join the mailing list above.

The saying goes that money cannot buy you happiness, but even though money is a big motivation in life and fuels our society there is a great deal out of its reach, like love, happiness, friends and health.

It is seen to be the answer to everything but it creates more problems than it can solve.
