The updated register of Members of Interests provided rich pickings for this week’s Daily Star Sunday column. Chris Huhne is cashing in on his Energy contacts, Nadine’s taking Ashcroft money and Labour have their very own absent earners. Guido’s favourite story of the week was the coming nightmare for Ed Balls:
THE Tories have finally accepted that their cherished plan to redraw parliamentary boundaries, heavily favouring Labour at the moment, is dead in the water. They’ve begun to select candidates for the next election in the old seats. Ed Balls’ patch near Leeds is high up the target list. The Tories were just 1,101 votes short of scalping their nemesis last time round, fewer votes than the UKIP candidate got. If the Tories choose a suitably Eurosceptic candidate and UKIP sits this one out, Balls will have one hell of a fight on his hands.
The whole column is now online here.
More to the point why is it dead in the water?
Because they are cowards and don’t really believe in one people’s votes having equal weight. Just like the LibDems and Labour don’t either. Which tells you everything you need to know about how inherently undemocratic out three main parties really are.
So can we have AV where by everyone’s vote will have equal weight?
Genuine proportional representation is what we need but the LibLabCon will never allow that because it will let in the smaller, newer parties and eventually break the old firms’ monopoly.

I object to a consituency in Scotland with 21,800 voters being about 4 times smaller than the largest constituency in England which has 108,000 voters and is also an island. That is just taking the piss.
In what sense?
Surely, the question is, if you have to raise an issue with your M.P. is it resolved quickly and properly? Why does it matter how many other people he/she has to look after?
It matters because 108,000 voters in England get one MP and in Scotland the same number of people would have 4 MPs. That is unacceptable.
What is even more unacceptable is that Scottish voters basically get to decide who the English get as their government.
Ignore the Scottish vote, even up the boundaries and the English might have their democracy back.
Independence from Scotland Now.
Move 10 000 people to the Isle of Wight and let the delicious Sally Bercow run in the second constituency. So long as she comes first!

OOOPS – microsoft copy paste accident again, this for second,
Because ‘Brave Dave’ is so thick that he left it to the last minute. Now the Lib Dems won’t play ball anymore, especially because they would also be losers if the boundaries are redrawn…. kind of like getting turkeys to vote for Christmas.
OH BUGGER IT! since my obvious apparent weakness for youtubby vids, might as well post another one, since I have spoken to Jim/Shelly over time, might as well post another one YT.
This is for smellycat, better known as stroppycow here, with all my love – and I have left a joke there just, if my fellow tory brits get it,
So – dogging in a layby then stroppycow? Now you know where to find me, so we have got the indroductions out of the way. I’ll bring the wellingtons.
We love money! Especially YOURS!
Yes and Labour loves wasting money it’s what they do.
Why would UKIP ‘sit this one out’…?
They’d love to stick one up the Tories.
If the Tories wish they can always leave an open field for the UKIP candidate.
I think Dave might make an exception and allow a genuine sceptic to stand – just to get one over on Balls
Even if he does UKIP should also put up a candidate. This is supposed to be a democratic country and some would rather vote UKIP than Europhile Dave.
The Tories won’t win anyway and that is all down to Dave and Osborne, not UKIP.
Mmm not so sure that the Tories will actually lose despite forebodings….it all depends on the state of the economy at the time of the election. If growth has returned;unemployment falling and people starting to feel better about their lives then Labour could not necessarily do as well as is predicted…there is still 30 months to go before an election and as they say a week is a long time in politics
Contingent on the bBBC of course.
sound contention funny old world
As a UKIP supporter, there is nothing in it for us – we have to stand and make Dave lose seats. Only then will he listen to his voters.
Doesn’t matter – we’ve made enough money from the taxpayer anyway.
Zis is not funny.

What a lot of tripe about mad Nads. She is the Claire Short of the Conservative Party. Short on intelligence. Always moaning about the party and a money grubbing arsewipes too boot. I despise the lying parasite. We can all live without that nonsense.
Go on you know you WOULD !!!!
What? Spit on her? Only if she wasn’t on fire. She is a money grubbing opportunist and everything Idespised in Labour, she is becoming just like them.
But she’s giving her MP money to charity while not ion the Commons. The Treasury would be a lot richer if that absentee trougher Gordon Brown did that.
Dorries is a pain in the arse but she’s not in the same league as Labour cockroaches like Harman, Hodge and the oafish Sally Bercow.
Wake up fool. She is a divisive money grubbing hoon. Totally useless to boot.
She speaks her mind which is more than most Yes-men MPs do. I don’t like her but you have to give her some credit for that.

Abu Qatada out tomorrow, what a gay day
The Tories are unbelievable. They want to keep Scotland, yet getting rid of it would cost Labour 50 seats. They give up on the boundary changes that would have cost Labour up to 30 seats and they appear to be missing out on the chance to kill the BBC.
Remind me is Cameron actually a Tory or Gordon Brown in a rubber ‘Dave’ mask?
I’m a liberal old boy, don’t you know?
I bloody knew it… you bastard
Tories want to keep Scotland? Well, they are nit trying really hard are they, for your said reson. They are only tokenly really saying that because Queenie is giving Dave Cams a earache each week at Bucks Palace due to her holiday home in Balmoral. Anyway, what will Lizzie and her family do with their vast mardrobes full of tartan then?

Dave. He’s like Labour, but much much worse.

You can’t steal a job. It belongs to the employer not the employee.

Of course you can’t “cave his head in”. I’ll put round the clock protection on him. This will cost millions every year, of course, but if I sack lots of soldiers and close some hospital wards and cut back on policing in other areas, I’m sure I can scrape together enough to protect this chap.
Vote for me in 2015, won’t you? Jolly decent of you.

Which is rather odd when Anjem’s lot are allowed by the plod to burn poppies in the street.
Every newspaper in the country posts ‘offensive’ pictures to, er, report the news? What’s the difference?
Let’s see if the BBC mention this story.
It’s disgusting and deserves wide coverage.
Some one would get a medal shooting you
If they only grazed him he’d get the purple heart. One of our best men, is Anjem.

“Ed Balls’ patch near Leeds is high up the target list.”
Balls’s patch.
I like Balls – he has, AHEM!, well, Balls, which are needed. He’ll go far.
Like Leeds too, rather tory in strange way their county is, for some british historical peculiarity of brit history.
Here is Allan Clarke, from Willenall, near Brirmingham, scoring for them against that Lahndahn Arse, in the Centenary FA Cup Final back in ’72, enjoy a bit of brit history, sportingly, coats for goalposts and all that,

Monty, friend. May I say, just loved your clip on telly in the Humpty Doo in the Oz outback – animals and nightlife, what David Attenborough has been searching magic formula for years, but I suppose Dave would say “Wher are the bat droppings?”, but I suppose you can’t please everyone,
How’s Lebanon these days Monty? Heard things are brewing, with their Syrian neighbours? Pardon Monty, stop gargling you pisshead, spit it out…. Depends on, on, fucking what Monty… Send you out as a diplomat!?!
EDIT – oops, wrong Dom, but who gives a shit, I don’t.
I think that Call me Dave should be the next DG, he has left wing ideas, buys into climate change and all things green, does not like tories and is pro EU.
+ 1000000
I think the Pope should be the next BBC Director General.
He’s used to handling a crisis when it comes to child abuse and cover up.
Also Chris Patten’s loyalty wouldn’t be divided between bosses.
Did Jim Torbett work for Rangers?
Yes he did, you wont hear that from a rangers fan though, he ran the boys club for 3 years
Anyone of the former Rangers managers could do the job better as this never gets mentioned in the papers.
What a cover up!
Dave as DG of the BBC …… hard to say what the programs would be like
Top Gear replaced with ministerial limo
CBBC replaced with Eton Channel
newsnight replaced with celebrity pot smoking
3 years is a long time. Can we see the EU situation getting any better? Between now and 2015 perhaps the Tories will see an EU exit as the only way to stop in power? Can you imagine a Tory party rolling over on the one issue that can get them back in, leaving a door open to Labour, and being electable ever again?
“Can we see the EU situation getting any better?”
Nope, not a hope. And between now and May 2015, Camoron will throw at least £47.5 billion of our money at the EU.
And the EU will put the whole lot in a big pile, and burn it.
And Camoron will say, “this is in our interest. We must never contemplate ending this.”
I think Mrs Merkel has a plan to use the money, so it won’t all be burnt.
Pobably a memorial for helping free them from the nasty nazis, whoever they were.
>And the EU will put the whole lot in a big pile, and burn it.
oh not it won’t a large part of that will find it’s way into the pockets of the politicly connected.
We’ll be poorer, but the ruling class will be richer. It’s the post-democratic way, and they’ll be removed in the pre-democratic way.
I have already purchased my front row seat and laid in a good stock of finest quality wool.
Now that £47 billion is an interesting figure. Earlier today in a discussion in the real world (yes there is one) I calculated a similar figure would be needed to be spent on nuclear power stations to make up shortfalls in supply because of Blairs and the EU’s 4 or 5 million extra mouths that now live here.
Don’t forget Balls most likely benefitted from the 10,000 postal votes in his constituency, since labour have a well-oiled postal votes machine, with Tower Hamlets providing best-in-class performance.
And last election the postal votes got stuck in Leeds for a while, delaying the result in that particular constituency!
Camoron could cancel postal voting and make people contact the council if they want to vote, the council could send people out to individuals, make sure you watch the watcher as sometimes t*rds float to the top..
Polly from Tuscany writes (I couldnt possibly leave my home to line up with the plebs not even for Mr Millibum)
Come on UKIP.
I imagine most readers of your blog predicted in the first week of the Coalition that the Boundary Changes would never happen in this parliament. It was a dead cert that the Lib Dems would renege on the agreement. I wouldn’t trust any of them to walk my dog, let alone honour a solemn contract. As a party of shysters and opportunists they disgust me
Empty scrotum bags were quite happy to see the Limpdums wast us £200 million quid on there pet a/v project though, that went down like a lead balloon.
It’s also a dead cert that whatever CmD says he’s gonna do, never happens.
Totally agree with the disgust sentiment for the party of useless donothings.
Clegg’s gotta be a prime candidate for Fat Pang’s job, and the rest could take up jobs vacated by the step aside, time serving slugoids.
I never quite took the boundry changes in full , in part because I felt things should be organised more within county boundries. That said I can certainly see that somthing has to got give in political structures and costs . The lib dems wanted to emphasise the top layers which of course isnt where a great many of the current account problems that affect voters actually occures , although best not make eyes water with foreign aid ….

Labour and their BBC pals really are scum. Many, many people were fooled into believing those smears about the Tory until the alleged victim Messham admitted it was mistaken identity. A lot of damage had been done by then though but fortunately it has backfired on the smearing turds.
What is really galling is the leftist filth behind these smear tactics are still in the House of Commons on the public payroll or in Broadcasting House living the high life off the licence tax.
Suing a few idiots isn’t enough. It’s time we had a real right-wing backlash against the leftists and stop their corrosive and highly damaging effect on this country before it’s too late.

If the Tories choose a suitably Eurosceptic candidate and UKIP sits this one out, Balls will have one hell of a fight on his hands.
No. If the Tories offer a genuinely conservative and Eurosceptic manifesto, including an In/Out Referendum commitment, and field a genuinely eurosceptic candidate, they might just persuade UKIP to stand down.
With Cameron at the helm, they haven’t got a chance.
