sub50 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This is a major development but I am sure it will get little coverage. If this was a different issue the BBC would be phoning every constituency office asking for an off the record count about the matter. Nothing of any substance will get through parliament, though I suspect he three amigos knew that and really do not care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) This is a major development but I am sure it will get little coverage. But it's an issue down south so they are happy to stir things on that front - and quote the John Redwoods of the world [From another thread] Lord Barnett of Formula calls for Barnett formula to be scrapped http://www.telegraph...ett-admits.html "My funding formula for Scotland is a 'terrible mistake', Lord Barnett admits" and Christopher Chope, a Tory MP, warned that Parliament has stopped similar deals before. He told BBC Radio 4's the World At One: "I certainly think that the people in Scotland should recognise that this is a pledge, in inverted commas, by party leaders, but that is not a guarantee that that would be implemented in the United Kingdom parliament. and Party leaders face fury of MPs over pledge to keep extra funding for Scotland http://www.standard....sh-9735431.html and a 'bloodbath' quote somewhere Edited September 16, 2014 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Saint Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The comments by Christopher Chope blow completely out of the water the promises being made by Cameron and Brown etc. They simply cannot be certain they can deliver the things they are promising. And it's not being said by just anyone - it's being said by an MP who will be asked to vote on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Saint Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 "These announcements are expressions of opinion by the leaders of parties, obviously they carry some influence. But dont lets kid ourselves that weve abandoned our parliamentary democracy." Christopher Chope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Saint Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ok, not Tory, but... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29236901 Seems like there is a bit of a difference of opinion between Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
