Well the story is that Blair, despite all the positive opinion polls, was still paranoid he may need the Lib Dems support to form a government and Ashdown agreed, with PR being what they wanted to achieve out of it. When Blair won a landslide, he didn't need the LibDem's help and it was...

Kuyt has got into double figures this season, but the fact you do down Alonso, who has been one of the BEST players this season, shows your opinion is anything but "safe".

Well they could appoint a new leader and then call an election, therefore not putting them in power during the parliament but fighting the election with a different leader. Whether that would make much of a difference in the polls, who knows? They are all over the place, in November, yougov had...

I think voting Green is what I would advocate. I don't think Labour has the ability to put through any more tax rises really, surely there is only one budget left and that will be a vote buying pre-election budget. If you don't mind me asking, who were you thinking of voting for prior to this...

Don't rise to it fella, you'll distract him from his school revision. He gets to use an abacus tomorrow..

Yes, well that's what we can hope for. I personally think we need a proper codified constitution. If we had one of them, with breachs of MP's trust such as this, surely we could dismiss them and have more power over them? In the emerging democracies of Central/Eastern Europe I have been...

I thought Jack Straw was the Justice Minister and Malik was just one of the ministers under him. Malik turned me down for an internship a couple of years ago, so he's no loss :lol:.

This does however challenge the orthodox assumption that having two large stable parties is good for democracy. The fact is, so many, from either side, have seats that never change hands, like Soames for Tories down here, and Labour people oop north. As a result, well, they've become...

I think perhaps it takes awhile for the moat to sink in?

Yes he does, and unlike the Labour bloke, he hasn't been suspended from the party either!

Yes I think the fact she has been an MEP for a while should stand her in good stead. It also means she can be out campaigning now for re-election as an MEP, therefore giving herself a dry run a year before the real thing and allowing herself to raise her profile yet further. They have a real...

What did May claim for, those shoes she wore once at Tory conference?

He was also the one that was out making jokes about Prezza's "bulemia"/weight, not a bad thing in itself you say, but the size of the bloke makes you think, stones, glass houses?

They have an incredibly good chance of winning Pavillion.. If you take into account 1) They now have 12 councillors in Brighton and Hove 2) Their candidate this time is Caroline Lucas, who is quite high profile and has already been seen associating herself with the cause 3) The Tory candidate...

Could simply mean, like earlier this decade, we won't be finding out what is going on for awhile. As in, it's ambitious to expect anything to be resolved tomorrow.

The same Kevin Davies who has had an excellent season at Bolton this year? How the hell is he the worst player ever to play in the Premier League? I mean Craig Maskell played in the Premier League for gods sake..

I didn't, I must have missed out on such trends. :nono: I don't even really remember what I got for my 21st and it was only last October...

My favourites have been last year when some of the tube workers took to writing quotes from John Locke or Rousseau on the noticeboards near the platforms at Kings Cross, or a driver on a district line train coming back from Kew Gardens who proceeded to give the train a mixture of trivia and quiz...

Who would prefer them???:nono: I hope that statement doesn't come back to haunt me.
