Clegg - We Need Less MPs
Interesting outburst from Nick Clegg today who argues there should be 150 less MPs in Britain.The Lib Dems usually just moan about how unfair the voting system is (i.e. under the current system joke third parties never get a look in - although in fairness that would be true under most electoral systems), but now they have had a stroke of genius and want to get rid of some MPs to redistribute power away from the two major parties.
Perhaps Clegg could do us all a favour and just get rid of the 63 Lib Dem MPs in the House of Commons, that would save us all a lot of time, money and bother.
But then again, if you look at the polls, he already seems to be doing a good job of ensuring there are no Lib Dem MPs after the next General Election! ;-)
Perhaps he would like to join up to my "No Lib Dem Zone" campaign?
What Clegg seems unable to understand is that even if you took away all the Labour and Conservative MPs and called a General Election the next day, the Lib Dems would still finish third. :-/

Clegg knows the Lib Dems could be in for a kicking the next election. This kind of announcement just makes him look like a child stomping his feet.
'(i.e. under the current system joke third parties never get a look in - although in fairness that would be true under most electoral systems),'
Really Kerron?
'if you look at the polls, he already seems to be doing a good job of ensuring there are no Lib Dem MPs after the next General Election!'
Which polls?
I think a phasing out of the Lib Dems would serve the country well. I'm glad that Camero-Clegg has volunteered his MPs to help put his idea into action. The best way to lead is to lead by example.
I would say a reduction by over 600 would be the biggest improvement. Down to about 0
Fewer! There should be FEWER MPs.
