Alec – that’s heading into the sort of discussion that should be on the other thread now it’s open…

@Neil A – you’re right, but that therefore begs the question as to why Cameron expressly stated that NI MPs should be able to vote on English matters, while Scots would not? I assume it was part of the deal he struck with the Ulster Unionists. It’s constitutionally illiterate and displays nothing but political opportunism, playing fast and loose with the constitution for party political gain. It’s one of a string of policy statements that turns me off Cameron and where the lack of effective scrutiny of his policies is allowing a badly thought through government programme to come forward by default.

I dunno why Labour don’t just come clean and ban every other party, they seem to be starting with the NP, why not stitch up the deal and ban the Tories, and get on with their NeoStalinist fantasy!

You’ve said that. Well done.

You can feel chuffed with yourself now.

Now can we try and stick to commenting on polls without getting so i. off the point and ii. so over-excited by ourselves?

The Tory-Ulster Unionist pact is in place for the General Election:

and, as Bill Patrick says, the absence of Sinn Fein from the chamber means Cameron could form a working government while being in a technical minority.
