Like many Britons, I failed to tune in to the latest series of "I'm A Celebrity...." and so was unable to see at first hand whether MP Nadine Dorries really was able to use the programme to further her political ideas. Since she's been quickly voted off the programme - the first one in this series - I guess I can see that her desire to be a major-league celebrity has clearly failed. One verdict on Ms. Dorries' sorry little foray into the jungle is from Radio Times' Tim Glanfield, whose damning verdict is that actually, Ms. Dorries simply proved how apathetic towards politicians most people are.
Nadine Dorries has been a figure of ridicule - a just consequence of foolishly thinking that being an MP was simply a halfway house to becoming a celebrity. Only one politician has achieved genuine celebrity status, and Boris Johnson had done that before becoming an MP. It still remains to be seen whether he has a parliamentary future of consequence, despite his role as London's chief humourist. Ms. Dorries, on the other hand, probably has very little political future of any consequence at all.
