Well, vote Conservative and this is what you've got to look forward to:

"It is rumoured that The Sun had made it clear that it would not back the party as long as Dominic Grieve remained Shadow Home Secretary. The previous Sun Editor, Rebekah Wade had made that clear after an unhappy dinner she had had with the man now moved to the Justice portfolio."(from a href="http://conservativehome.blogs.com/thetorydiary/2009/09/the-dead-parrot-tories-are-resurrected-in-the-sun.html">conservativehome.blogs.com note it's a Tory blog)

So is Cameron making deals to ensure the support of the second biggest arserag available? Let's be clear about this. If true, an unelected, unaccountable foreign national is using his influence (via his editor) to shape the makeup of the shadow cabinet. Presumably he'll do the same if Cameron's made PM. If this doesn't set alarm bells ringing in your head then I'm not sure what will.

Democracy? Unless you're rich, prepare to be abandoned.
