So, you want to run the Fabians?

What is he wittering on about now? I could do better than that.

If you've ever thought that - and, let's face it, who hasn't - then this might just be your chance.

The Fabian Society is recruiting for our next General Secretary. I will be leaving at the end of June, to take up a new challenge.

The advert - below - is in today's Guardian, and the full details of how to apply are on the Fabian website. (How to apply (PDF file))

I suggest we approach it like this.

Witticisms, parodies and joke applications are welcome here on Next Left in the thread below.

And, if you would like to apply for one of the most interesting and enjoyable jobs in politics, then you have got until Thursday 26th May to get your pitch in.

Good luck!

I'm not sure I'm either popular or qualified enough to get the job on merit, Sunder.

Please enter me in the AV ballot.
