It is clearly her life experience which informs her politics, so while Europe and civil liberties are two more crucial planks of her platform, she claims not to define her membership of the Lib Dems in terms of electoral reform. The way to control this group is to encourage them to work, despite the fact that there are certain times in any child’s life when it can be beneficial for them to be parented full-time.Ballard, after her marriage broke up, experienced time as a single mother on income support herself. While she admits that Labour has made significant changes since the days when she could not bring herself to join the party she considered herself to identify with, she maintains that “at heart, they haven’t moved away from viewing people as being part of groups or part of classes, and feeling that they need to control these groups from the centre”.As an example she takes single parents, who are seen as a group made up entirely of feckless 16-year-olds. Just tell me what Liberals are.’ As he talked I realised what it was I didn’t like about the socialist credo.

It was their insistence on seeing people as groups or classes rather than as individuals. It was their desire to control from the centre rather than allowing decision- making to take place at a lower level.”This, she maintains today, is still the big problem with Labour. “He said: `You’re obviously a Liberal, why don’t you join the party and get involved?’ `Oh,’ I said, `but I’ve always voted Labour. I felt like I owned him, so I would write long letters to him all the time, about issues that were affecting me and my family – class sizes at the local school because my daughter was there; VAT on listed buildings because I lived in one; health because I had an aunt who hadn’t been admitted to an intensive care unit because she was over 70…”This went on for about two years, until one day the doorbell rang, and there was Paddy Ashdown.

I was really impressed by that, so in 1983, although I still considered myself a Labour supporter, I voted for him, the person, not the party.”When he got in, I felt like he really was my MP. Ballard realised that she could not, with the tools at her disposal, alter the course of this family’s lives.Disillusioned, she married, and the pair moved, inspired by the mid-Seventies television sitcom The Good Life, to the West Country, where they set about the great self-sufficiency experiment. As the pleasures of life as a wife and mother waned, a local wannabe MP started attracting Ballard’s attention. “Westland was wanting to sell helicopters to Chile and Paddy Ashdown made a principled stand against it, which could have been a big vote-loser as Westland was a major employer in the Yeovil constituency. She wasn’t quite sure what it was that repelled her, but she couldn’t quite bring herself to join the Socialist Club.After she graduated, she became a social worker in Waltham Forest in London’s East End. At 21, and with little experience, her job was to deal with at-risk children. She worked with a particular family which was headed by a single mother who at 19 had three children.

While she considered herself a socialist, something stopped her from joining the biggest, most influential organisation that was available to LSE students. Here she threw herself into the radical political ferment that suffused the place, campaigning against apartheid, against Vietnam, picketing Miss World, behaving in every way like the kind of student who typified the LSE of the late Sixties Except in one respect. While she recognised that she had been given a great opportunity, she felt that her privilege was a burden. Riven by the contrast between her own school life and that of the local children in state education, she became a rebel, taking it upon herself to challenge the complacency of the people around her who took so much for granted.In this same spirit she rejected English at Oxford, the course her teachers had mapped out for her in favour of psychology at the London School of Economics.

The family moved to Wales where Jackie embarked on her final year of primary education at a tiny village school.So impressed were her teachers by her academic prowess – a fact that, she is at pains to emphasise, had more to do with the superiority of the Scottish education system than her own genius – that they decided to do something they’d never done before, and enter their prodigy for a scholarship to the private boarding school, Monmouth School for Girls.Her attendance at the school was the catalyst which jolted her into political awareness At 12 she realised that “life was crushingly unfair”. Since, in the Fifties, the days of the independent forester were very much numbered, the family was already reduced to living in a caravan when it became apparent that there was no more wood to cut in Scotland. And so this woman, who has been in Parliament for only two years but is already certain that for the good of all she must become its prime minister sooner rather than later, starts to tell a story that is ludicrous in its exemplary depiction of a life that has been lived as a political journey.Raised for her first 10 years in rural Scotland, Jackie Ballard was born the daughter of a woodcutter. Jackie Ballard sounds far more like a socialist than Tony Blair does. Why is it that she defines herself as a liberal?This, Ballard admits, is a complicated question, one that can only be fully answered with a quick run through her life story. The truth is that Ballard, on the left of the Lib Dems, has far more in common with the Labour left than she does with the right wing of her own party. But it is worth noting that Ballard’s declaration that the coalition has stalled and her pinpointing of social justice as one of the key areas of her disagreement with Labour was made on the very day that 44 Labour MPs called for a rejection of the centre- left coalition with the Liberal Democrats, so that Labour’s future as a “democratic socialist party fighting for social justice” can be assured.These are funny old times for British party politics.

Marion is the more talented of the two, but he lacks the defensive mind that Shaq does, as well as the dominant presence. The Suns guaranteed Marion a six-year $80 million deal, so it would be hard to push on someone and get a fair return for him. Shaq fit all these requirements, and so the trade was made.Now we see the results the Suns are on the brink of elimination in the playoffs and it seems nothing has changed. Is it possible that the Suns are just choke artists in the playoffs? Or is it that Nash, Amare, and Barbosa have found their kryptonite in Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs. It seems that the defending champs are the real deal, playing some of the most boring basketball one will ever see. Having the rings to back up their play, no one can really say much.

The Spurs are a dynamically defensive team, their late season runs and championships mean they are doing something right. The Suns, however, good they may be, seem to always be on the losing end of the spectrum.  The new slower Suns are good, and if not for San Antonio, they would no doubt be on their way to the championship. Will they ever beat San Antonio? Not with this team, the Suns are an amazing balance of talent and size, but their lack of a bench really hurts them.

Unlike some teams who have two confident big men, like the 76ers with Samuel Dalembert and Reggie Evans, or Lakers with Gasol and Andrew Bynum, the list goes on. The Suns have a weak bench, without Grant Hill, it's even worse. As long as the Spurs have the outstanding defensive mind that the coach and players have, and the Suns are still looking for a deeper bench that can grab boards and hold a lead, the Suns will never beat the Spurs in a playoff series. The Suns need to gel a bit better, and find a big man for their bench and find some role players who will not squander a massive lead accrued by the big four. If they ever want to contend with the Spurs these things have to happen, and until then, they will remain the worst of the best in the West..
