http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8361715.stmA lot of this is just Clegg looking attention, but I do agree with a fair bit of what he's saying...

Clegg deserves attention. The two "main" parties get all of the limelight, while the Lib-Dems have been shouting into the hurricane for years.
Likewise, I agree with him. Let's sort is out, then we can get back to the fake flummery if we want. We don't need a grand opening of a dead parliament.

I have noticed, over the past year or two in particular, that the LibDems seem to be the only party that every speak any sense.

Cancel the Queen's speech permanently - it's only ever a manifesto splurge.

+1 - it will be interesting to see what the commentators make of the speech. The last date for a General Election falls in June. I have a feeling it will happen in May, or even April, as June is holiday time, and all the MPs will be buggering off on their usual long holidays.

Yeah, right they are. If we've just employed a new bunch of people, there's no way they're buggering off on a nice long break. I expect them to get down to the hard graft from the off. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

I've seen the speech once in my 35 years, and that was only because my Royalist Gran was staying.
Viva la republic!

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
