Which of the many versions of his sexuality do you think Hughes would
declare for that particular campaign?


Is he a fan of coalitus interruptus?



I don't know, but perhaps Mark Oaten could give him some personal
experience of coprophilia.

Just because there's a Con-Lib coalition in Parliament at Westminster
it doesn't mean there's going to be Con-Lib coalitions elsewhere.
There isn't going to be a Con-Lib coalition in the London Assembly
(the Lib Dems in the Assembly continue to regard themselves as part of
the opposition),


Of course, because they have no say in running things. And if they stand
against the Tories in 2012, they will continue to have no say in running
things, and there's a fair chance that the Tories will have no say in
running things either. Together they will walk it. Or cycle it.


Bear in mind that the London Assembly is a rather different beast when
compared to a local or county council, or Parliament, or indeed the
assemblies of Wales or NI (which are themselves both rather distinct
from each other). The London Assembly is more about oversight and
scrutiny, as opposed to governing - the executive power is held by the
Mayor. The Assembly does have a vote on the budget, but it's only on
the overall budget, rather than a line-by-line break down of it

Surely nowadays they'd wear condems?

All LibDems have about 88 years experience of that!

Or, you know, the main opposition to Bojo the Clown could be from a party
other than Labour. Maybe even one which was in government more recently.


The Liberal Democrats are extremely weak in many parts of London with very
little organisation - in the local elections last weak they only put up 12
candidates for the 60 council seats here in Newham and couldn't field a
candidate for borough Mayor. They're further hampered by a structure that
gives too much campaign power to local parties and doesn't easily adapt for
the GLA elections - by a lot of accounts their effort in the last elections
was often hampered because different borough parties within the same
Assembly constituency were not co-ordinating well.
