No summer holiday before the overhaul

I love this idea of not letting the MPs out until they've done the decent thing. In this case the decent thing being not filibustering minor and irrelevant reformlets but rather proper reforms -many of which are practically ready to go and should have been released into the wild already. Read it here: Nick Clegg | Bar the gates. No summer holiday before the overhaul | Comment is free | The Guardian: "what Cameron did not say is more revealing than what he did. No mention of the murky business of party funding. No mention of the scandal of an unelected second chamber. The rejection of any change to an electoral system that hands power to governments on a fraction of the vote. Without these changes, British politics will continue to be a game of pass the parcel between two old parties, while the rest of the country switches off,"

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
