Let me introduce you to my younger brother, Rex Charon MP. We are a fairly large family. I have two brothers; one is Professor RD Charon, a law don and then there is Rex who has finally been elected to Parliament, encouraged by politics in the post-RBS-HBOS era. Rex worked as an investment banker for many years and is much taken by the opportunities now presenting themselves both as to expenses and potentially lucrative, but fully disclosable, directorships and other consultancies. He does not aspire to high office but if preferment was to come his way, it is quite likely that he would accept office, albeit reluctantly.
Rex likes to describe himself as Centre-Left-Right.

We live in interesting times and politics, an interest I have, is coming more to the fore. Commentary, once the preserve of the dead tree press as I have heard it described by Guido and others, is now often far sharper on the political blogs than in traditional press, television and media coverage. If you are interested in politics then you may like to dip into this collection of political blogs – I’ll be adding to them as time goes on. [You will also find the link in my blogroll to the right *2. Political Blogs Netvibes page* ]
An honest MP, with a penchant for political Polka ? As Paris Hilton would say, “That’s Hot”.
Does Rex ever use his kudos to do work of a philanthropic nature?
I feel a crush coming on. Someone pass me the smelling salts.
Hi Ian,
Wonderful thought – I think I shall observe rather than participate. I was asked many years ago by a then Secretary of State for Trade & Industry if I would be interested in standing for Parliament. He was shocked when I told him I wasn’t a Tory, laughed and said that it might be for the best if I kept out of politics!
I’ve just added your journal to my new Political blogs Netvibe page – and will be adding more blogs as I come across them
