Squeaky clean Lib Dems got coverage today for their expenses in that elitist, Tory rag, the Telegraph. There I go making it sound all exciting just by writing about it. But seriously, I didn't think Lib Dems actually incurred expenses, because I didn't think they did anything. Certainly it's a chance to stay squeaky clean in relation to the other parties because they haven't been in power since...well ever. Not since Lloyd George has a Lib-related leader had chance to get his mug on the front pages. Nick Clegg, who is apparently the Leader of Britain's oft-ignored, third party, stumbled into unaccustomed action saying he'd be jolly-well, really displeased if it turned out they were all as corrupt at the moat-clearing Tories. Well, he didn't actually say that exactly, but he did say something or other that I've forgotten to write down. I'd like to encourage Britain not to forget about this political group; they do fulfill an important function in the political landscape. In a nutshell, if we didn't have LibDems, event these corrupt ones, as it turns out they seem to be from today's Telegraph's front page, we'd be a two-party state, like America. Plus it's not so nice to have everything red or blue. I like to see some orange. Or is it yellow? I can't remember...
