NAUSEATINGLY IMMATURE

The immaturity of Nick Clegg and his party is very apparent in their tit-for-tat response to the failure of their constitutional vandalism of the House of Lords. The Coalition Agreement included a clear trade-off between the Conservatives and the Libdems. They would get a referendum on the Alternative Voting system and the Conservatives would have a chance to create a level field voting system. At present the system is heavily biased towards the Labour Party. When Tony Blair got 36% of the national votes that gave him a majority in parliament of 20 seats - whereas when David Cameron won 36% of the national votes he fell significantly short of a working majority. Where is the famous British sense of fair play in such a system? The boundary changes proposed within the Coalition Agreement would have righted that wrong. So does Clegg now believe that Labour should have a built in advantage when it comes to national elections? Doesn't he desire a level playing field when it comes to deciding which party wins? He has previously been on record as saying that the system is unfair and should be changed but now in a childlike fit of pique he has changed his mind. How petty! How nauseatingly immature!
