Politics is not a marriage but a coalition is a loose engagement. Vince is realistic at the very worse. Any better ideas?
Quote:
Sir Menzies Campbell reportedly claimed in the region of £10,000 over two years to redesign his flat in London, which included the purchasing of a king-sized bed, scatter cushions and a small flat screen television. It was also claimed that on occasions Campbell spent eight hundred pounds a month on food. Campbell said he believed that the claims were "within the spirit and letter of the rules".
...........and neither did the above bring him any closer to the bosom of the electorate.
Just another self important, self serving parasite.
