[...] The FT Alphaville believes the members set an unrealistic goal for the trade body: Expecting the BVCA to mount a robust, well-argued defence of the indefensible is frankly unreasonable. Expecting them to do so in the full glare of the House of� Commons, while being set upon by predatory politicians, well-versed in the art of the sound-bite and salivating at the prospect of glorifying themselves by coming up with the most scathing put-down for the next days papers, is bordering on inhumane.� The MPs must be ****-a-hoop.� No political downside on this one.

If the BVCA's success is providing for its undoing, how are other private equity lobby groups coping accross Europe? Are they unsuccessful and will therefore survive? In any case, we should be able to read more stories dishing the dirt directly from within the board rooms of private equity. Even if nothing changes, it makes for good reading. Who’s next?
