Sixteen Good Things The Lib Dems Have Achieved "this is why, despite the fact that I don’t support the government, I *do* support the Lib Dems in the government... Because we haven’t made the world perfect in only eighteen months with only nine percent of the MPs in parliament – but we’ve made it better.

I don’t expect five-star dining at McDonald’s, and I don’t expect brilliant cinema from G. I. Joe. But this was like ordering a Happy Meal and finding out that the “boy’s toy” is an action figure while the “girl’s toy” is a punch in the face." (tags: Feminism )

Demos | Blogs "the Constitution Unit at UCL have mooted another option. They point out that the Welfare Reform Bill is not just about cutting expenditure, but covers a wide range of reforms: changes to assessment processes, creating new benefits, and so on. As such, the Lords might reject the Common’s claim of financial privilege. They could, in fact, reject the bill in its entirety, which would delay it for a year." - I suspect this is too much to hope for. (tags: government )
