MPs Guilty of Too Much "Twist and Shout"

Whilst most Brits believed that politicians had done their best to combat the rise of most abhorrent dances, an overwhelming majority were still critical of MPs delectation of the “twist and shout”.   

This latest poll, published in the Independent, uncovered that 76 per cent of the public believe politicians are guilty of too much “twist and shout”. Only eight per cent thought that politicians practiced the right style and number of dances at Westminster with 21 per cent believing they could add to their repertoire. Five per cent didn’t know.  

The randomly selected 2000 participants for the poll stated that the main reason behind their dislike for the “twist and shout” was that they believed politicians should spend more time having sex with their secretaries and selling their souls to the devil. 

A spokesman for the political watchdog that commissioned the poll said in his statement to the press: “The public have overwhelmingly stated their preference that politicians get on with what they’re good at and spend less time doing this silly dance and trying to be in touch with the public.” 

Government choreographers have met the news of the poll with a muted reaction. “Obviously the government rejects any claims that the wrong dances are being used,” said Alice Cronin, the prime ministers director of waggling communication and strategy, “but we will take the public’s views on board and will be considering new and exciting kinds of dances for the coming weeks.” 

Political analysts believe the new dances will include the much popular break-dance. Home secretary Jacqui Smith stated: “If that’s the case, I’m looking forward to doing the ‘acid drop’ – I remember it fondly from my university days.”
