There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Seriously, I'm close enough to the Tories on a number of positions that I wouldn't be ashamed to vote for them (although I favour Lib Dem), but this shtick got boring ages ago. Go look up some stories on bungled robberies and mangled penises or something, like the rest of us.

-Oscar WildeNow that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.
The only petition that will count is the one you get on or before 3rd June next year.
EDIT: Let's try and move this thread onto more constructive ground. It seems inconceivable that New Labour will win the forthcoming election, and they are imploding so impressively that a hung parliament is pretty unlikely as well.
So, Conservative supporters must be looking forward to a new term in government, but in the direst of economic circumstances. What do you think of George Osborne as Chancellor? Frankly, he looks like a lightweight and seriously out of his depth. Of course, anyone would look competent next to the current Chancellor (What on earth are you doing, Darling?) but Osborne looks like an accident waiting to happen. Does anyone think Cameron will appoint Ken Clarke as the election approaches?

"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

I keep wondering this. It seems that Clarke now knows he is too old to be leader, therefore he represents less of a threat to Cameron. With that in mind, he might be the next actual Chancellor.
There was a poll on this a few months ago, irrc Clarke as Chancellor was very popular with the electorate.
