Well thanks Nick Clegg for not sticking with the status quo, and really rocking the boat with your bold leadership on reforming parliament.

I think it's great you're supporting somebody who claimed tens of thousands of quid for his wifes shopping trips and pocket 20 grand more to cover accomodation costs that he didn't have, and best of all - this chap is doing the review of MP expenses, gosh it doesn't look like a corrupt old boys at all.

I'm sure that we as a nation can follow suit and you'd support us if we all decided to fiddle our tax returns and put things like shopping, family travel, lap dancers, etc through our books. I'm sure the Inland revenue wouldn't quibble over a few tens of thousands of pounds for us all, and it certainly wouldn't mean being prosecuted for fraud.

Speaking of bold moves - how is your big push for reform of drugs legislation? Oh. yeah. It doesn't exist. Did you forget about it? Don't be surprised that you will be forgotten too unless you stand out - because right now when people say our party doesn't matter or make a difference, with the notable exception of Vince Cable and some excellent MPs that feels like the truth at the moment.
