Some AV and Coalition ideas...

Just put this together - any potential?

And so to the coalition. One of Nick Clegg's conditions of getting into bed with David Cameron, which I'm informed we shouldn't talk about for legal reasons, was electoral reform...

Incidentally, the bed thing was just a metaphor. I must stress that they haven't actually 'slept' together...I think. Oh no, Clegg is merely kipping on the Number 10 sofa until he can get himself sorted out.

To be fair this was never a marriage made in heaven. It has always been more of an unseemly liaison somewhere between Eton and Sheffield. And remember that The Jam sang a song about Eton Rifles and Sheffield is famous for it's cutlery - it was always likely it was going to end in a duel.

Anyway, back to electoral reform and the upcoming AV vote - or to give its full title, the Alternative Vote vote. Now, I'm really not sure what I'm going to do at this referendum. I mean, do I really care that much who runs the country? Let's face it 'running' the country has always been a bit of a misnomer - throughout my entire life no-one has done any better than an arthritic walk. I certainly don't think Paula Ratcliffe has anything to worry about.

So it begs the question how I should vote then? I was thinking of voting with my feet but it would be a bugger to hold the pencil.

Worth expanding on?

Fun and neat

I particularly like the image of Cleggers kipping on the sofa till he gets himself sorted out

Some enjoyable lines in there. I think definitely worth expanding on.
