    Does this really reflect well on the Tories? Make a deal with them and if the electoral arthimetic suggests the LibDems have no where else to go then they tear it up and say 'our way or the hard way'. Not the sort of bullies I would choose to do business with despite my politics leaning that way.

    Plus maintianing the status quo in the Lords is about the politcal elite hanging on to their power outside the wishes of the electorate. May be the public are wrong about which issues matter and which don't?
    I think....

    Well, they could invite Tony Blair back into UK politics by giving him an innocent and boring sounding back office job whislt at the same time he plots his [STRIKE]revenge[/STRIKE] return to front line politics.:eek:;)

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2172300/Tony-Blairs-job-UK-politics-leaving-Downing-Street--advising-Labour-policy-review.html

    "Tony Blair last night announced he is to take on his first job in British politics since leaving Downing Street – advising Labour on its policy review.

    Mr Blair, who has been laying the ground for a return to public life in Britain for several months, will advise the party on sporting policy in the wake of the Olympics"

    Rough translated, we will probably end up declaring war on Qatar ahead of the World Cup in 2022, so that we have a chance of winning.
    Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.

    How about for starters by bringing the country to the brink of bankruptcy like they did in 1997-2010 ?
    No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.

    The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.
