As they sing in The Producers "A little peace of Poland, a little peace of France".......

The only bit I agree with from the article; “The public are seriously disillusioned, cynical and distrustful of politicians,”.

Democracy is 22% of the electorate delivering a 66 seat overall majority. LOL

Dune, as I posted on the Electoral Reform thread, the extreme end of FPTP could give us the following; In half the seats Party1 get 51% of the vote and Party3 get 49%. In the other half of the seats, Party2 get 51% of the vote and Party3 get 49%. The result of this is that Party1 and Party2 will have half of the seats each, yet will have polled only 25.5% of the total vote, leaving Party3 with 49% of the vote and no seats. Is this acceptable ? If not, why is acceptable to extrapolate it to, for instance, @33% each for the 3 main parties, yet LD get only 10% of the seats. That is hardly in the spirit of democracy. It seems clear that the majority of the public want reform, yet the 'big 2' resist it because the national demographic, with the LD being the only party with a truly national appeal, works in their favour due to the local concentrations of red and blue supporters.

I'd go for that, but depending on how much Labour need LibDem support, maybe another couple of cabinet positions.

Have you tried looking in your handbag ? That's where women 'lose' most things.

Can we afford to lose their tax payments ? ( Somebody has to make up PCFC's shortfall ).

I can just see the Daily Hail headline now "Clegg's wife in homage to ex Hitler Youth shock !"

Was this deliberate, or just your usual sloppy spelling ?
