Astrology-loving MP seeks health answers in the stars

BBC
Quote:
A Conservative MP has spoken of his belief in astrology and his desire to incorporate it into medicine.

David Tredinnick said he had spent 20 years studying astrology and healthcare and was convinced it could work.

The MP for Bosworth, a member of the health committee and the science and technology committee, said he was not afraid of ridicule or abuse.

"There is no logic in attacking something that has a proven track record," he told BBC News.
Words fail me....

I would love to see the "proven track record" - I assume, like science, it is peer-reviewed and subject to the Scientific Method?

And the scary thing is this person is a contributing member of a Science and Technology committee?

Hunt is pro-homeopathy. There is no link between a politician's skills and competence and the field in which they're assigned a department or committee place.
