Does it matter? We all know that the majority of decisions and laws for Britain are now made in Brussels. The office of Prime Minister will become similar to that of the Queen in a few years. Ceremonial and wielding little or no power.

Right, now we know, we can stop all this crap hot air by the media.

Are you completely unaware of the ID Cards Act, then?

You know what I mean...extremist political parties. PR was one of the chief factors in why Germany abandoned the middle ground and voted for Communists and Nazis. The stupid part-FPTP part-PR system in Wales nearly resulted in a BNP AM being elected, which is unacceptable.

I don't mind the concept of ID cards. Only people who have something to hide need fear them.

It was pointless, and also the election register is now also 9 months out of date.

I never wont one now, and I dare say most people didn't either.

Enjoying the carefully chosen words from DC being chucked about for tomorrow's papers. Weakness, indecision, humiliating, retreat, spin for starters.

That's wrong. You're utterly, dead, wrong.

David Cameron can kick all the toys he want out of his pram, but the Tories did the exact same in the 90;s, so it bit tounge in cheek
