Hooray for Buggins!

Great news!

Former Russian President Vladimir Buggins is to run for president again to replace the current incumbent, former Prime Minister Dmitry Buggins who will once more become prime minister.

At last, the result that everyone was expecting – except apparently the most weary and cynical of political commentators who tried to whip up some suspense.

The move follows the well known precedent of the UK former Prime Minister Tony Buggins' 2007 handover to his next door neighbour and former best chum Gordon Buggins.

Keen observers will note that this type of orderly succession was in fact prequeled by the famous Bilbo Buggins who left his ring and his hole in the ground to his nephew Frodo Buggins and disappeared in a puff of smoke. This sparked a great epic journey and a lot more fun than either of these recent imitators.

In fact, they are even now making a film about Bilbo Buggins in the beautiful, mountainous and elf-ridden country called New Zealand, which is somewhere down there.

You couldn’t make it up.

Let’s talk.
