Mandleson`s return had great significance. I believe the elite, they are the ones who pull the strings (lol) have decided that Conservative plans to stop ID cards and a problematic Daivd Davis with his rightful crusade against BIG BROTHER, is too much to swallow. They have decided that Brown will win the next eliction.

All hail David Davis. So if you are concerned about BIG BROTHER, vote Conservative.LOL

With Mandy's arrival, the House of Lords will now number 746 Lords. We have 646 MPs. For 60 million people. The USA has 100 Senators and 435 Representatives. For 260 million people. Mandy is worth (as Napoleon used to say of himself) a whole battalion. Are the interests of the British Public adequately represented? In sum, do we have enough Lords and MPs? Should we, the people, not demand more?

You are trying to forge a case out of very little

substance. (Was that a pun?) This kind of penny a

line journalism doesn't do anything to enlighten the

voters or galvanise the mps. It is simply an attempt to

make an omlet without eggs. Next please!
