		<description><![CDATA[In fact, I suspect that there is a parallel between the General Election of 1992 and that of 2010 except that the result for the incumbent was different in the short term. Although due to the débâcle of the ERM ejection, the Tories had lost their “Good with the Economy” label, the electorate weren't quite sure about trusting Labour so John Major won with a workable but narrow majority that was to be torn apart by the EU issues in the end but, got the Tories re-elected in 1992.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To make the House of Lords elected, even partially elected is foolish because we really don't want another bunch of career politicians on the electoral stomp, far too boring. But more than that, it is highly dangerous because what powers will the Commons cede to the Lords because if the members of the Lords have no powers, why would people bother vote for them ?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[....interesting articles to read because of themselves, they reveal and underlying thrust and direction which is totally alien to British perceptions and the very wide gulf is not one that could “bridged” in any kind of negotiations. To want out of the EU is not to be anti European, it is merely to recognise that it is not an organisation that we in the UK will likely ever fit into....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Cameron is caught between his LibDem partners who were always bottom licking Euro Fanatics and his Right Wing backbenchers who are the complete opposite. His personal aim was to avoid having to deal with the EU in any meaningful way during this Parliament but circumstances in the Eurozone have thrust this upon him.]]></description>

As ever, an interesting article that takes an amusing sideways view at the Coalition and well [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If 300 can get the job done then fine but I suspect that might be a little on the light side however, it is not that crucial to me but the 15 year term is bonkers. If someone is elected for 15 years, why bother having an election in the first place ? It is hardly a term of office that makes people feel accountable is it ?]]></description>

It is not Clegg's fault, it is just very poor brand management and whilst they consider that, they should also dump "St Vince", he is becoming as big a liability to the LibDems as Ming Campbell was as Leader.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whilst you may deplore it, it would seem that the British electorate like a choice based upon extremes and are not really interested in the "middle". To support AV or any form of PR simply on the basis that as your party will never ever gain a majority, preventing others from doing so via fixing the voting system is what you want to do, doesn't seem quite the game.]]></description>
