Another Nail

The House of Commons has voted 337 to 224 for a fully elected House of Lords.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" has been interpreted by the current government to mean "If it ain't broke, smash it with a hammer and pick a fight that will make the Commons jam it back together into something that hasn't a hope in Hell of ever being anything except a constitutional nightmare."

Nice one.

    This is one Poli Sci major who can't wait to see how they get this mangled Frankenstein of a government to don coattails and sing Puttin' on the Ritz.

    Oh, and a fiver to anyone who spots the above reference.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
