And so we wait another day to find out who will be our next Prime Minister. Astonishingly, if we don’t have a new one by Monday morning then Jim Knight, Mike O’Brien, Shahid Malik, Vera Baird, Angela Smith, and Ann Keen – who all lost their seats on Thursday – will still be reporting for work as Ministers. Badger Eyebrows will be flying to Brussels to sign up to a multi-billion bailout of the Euro despite the fact that we had the common sense to stay well away from it (or so we thought). It’s being done under majority voting because the EU have called their currency a “natural disaster”*. A position which will be supported by likely incoming Chief Secretary of the Treasury Vince “I predicted 17 of the last 2 recessions” Cable. Sums it up, really.
For all those who think that this is outrageous, you’re going to love PR…
* Article 122 of the EU Constitution Lisbon Treaty – the thing everybody promised us a referendum on.
