In fact, AV will make real electoral reform in the form of STV even more of a distant dream than it ever was.<br /><br />The Lib Dems are finished. All those youngsters caught up in the excitement of Cleggmania? They were the next generation of Lib Dem voters. The party membership? I know of three LDs who are tearing up their membership cards right now and who tell me that half the party are likely to be doing the same. They are about to become a footnote of British political history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-44324993542903250652010-05-11T21:41:02.729+01:002010-05-11T21:41:02.729+01:00I'm emigrating, might even try to claim asylum...I'm emigrating, might even try to claim asylum - there's a certain poetic justice in that.<br /><br />Wonder how the weather is in Canada?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-30307786118199883542010-05-11T21:36:29.705+01:002010-05-11T21:36:29.705+01:00i've made a pledge not to laugh or smile under...i've made a pledge not to laugh or smile under a conservative government. join me.rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748487017373946749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-91768861842924710132010-05-11T21:22:57.774+01:002010-05-11T21:22:57.774+01:00Well, look at it this way...
