Government leaders are selected to front their party's policies.

1000 people putting forward ideas contrary to the party's policies may give the oppinion that the party's policies suck.

However not to give the impression that the selection of candidates to the summit were chosesn for their close alliance with the party's policies, one would throw in a few screwballs that could be easily ridiculed and in so doing make the party's policies look realy good and right on with what the people want.

The outcome is the media would foccus on the summit ideas one by one until they were exposed as useless or with merrit as already decided by the election.

This buys time for Kev and does no real damage by keeping the focuss on Kev, and not letting it switch away to those who wish to replace him.

Has there yet been a public invitation sent out seeking application for invitation or are those to be invited already known?
