Boris is neither happy with PR or with Nick Clegg

Boris is not very happy about Gordon's conversation to PR or Nick Clegg for that matter.

Writing in the Telegraph this morning,London's Mayor he says of the Lib Dem leader

With his purple ties, his neat grey suits and his air of youthful earnestness he's like some cut-price edition of David Cameron hastily knocked off by a Shanghai sweatshop to satisfy unexpected market demand. I open the papers to find him consulted daily, like some oracle, about every problem from the Taliban to babies crying in the night – and in both cases, incidentally, he adopts the classic Lib Dem position of simultaneously favouring intervention and leaving well alone.


As for proportional representation,which Gordon Brown is danglin in fornt of the Lib Dem leader

It is, of course, bare-faced cheek from Gordon to suggest that we should change the voting system just as the country is about to use that system to eject him from office. It is positively Mugabe-esque. And it is exactly the opposite of what parliament and politics need. The great expenses scandal has shown what happens when you allow the party machines to stitch things up in their own interests. Why on earth should we respond to that crisis by adopting PR? Under any version of PR there is a list system that transfers the power to pick MPs away from the people and towards the party machines.

Clegg will support the Tories in a hung Parliament

This morning's Telegraph suggests that Nick Clegg will support the Tories in the event of a hung Parliament.

In consultations with senior members of the party, he said he was prepared to take the necessary steps that would enable the Tories to form a minority administration.
Mr Clegg ruled out taking a Cabinet seat in a Conservative government in return for his support and instead would provide Mr Cameron with "supply and confidence" – meaning he would promise to back a Conservative Budget and would side with the Tories in any votes of confidence


The qusetion is why choose now to make the announcement.According to the report,he has decided that the public would not forgive for supporting a Labour administration.
So watch out for further announcements that David Cameron will be supporting proportional representation

Well knock me down with a feather! Vote Clegg get Cameron
says Bob Piper

Maybe this is what happens when you coem under fire from the Taliban.According to Westmonster

Nick Clegg has found a sure-fire way to get more hot sex: almost being shot by the Taliban. In an incident that will surely provide the Handsome One with enough ammunition to charm even the most chaste of ladies into his liberal bed, the Guardian has revealed how Mr. Clegg was forced to wear protective body army yesterday (though not of the Durex variety) after an airbase that he was visiting in Afghanistan was attacked by insurgents.
