Settle for Hain for now there's a dear.<BR/><BR/>Hain is different to the resignations of yore from any party. They tended to be over the ministerial code or brown envelopes. This one if unusually over electoral rules where the police must be involved as the EC has no sanctions of its own.<BR/><BR/>That is surely a mistake? Should not the EC be able to make their own judgements and even levy suitable fines and administer suitable punishments.<BR/><BR/>This one is a bit of a precedent. It is not like other ministerial resignations from any party.Chris Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679067503215414300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-29687707980839036612008-01-24T16:46:00.000+00:002008-01-24T16:46:00.000+00:00Lib Dem work and pensions spokesman Danny Alexande...Lib Dem work and pensions spokesman Danny Alexander said, "The transition from Blair to Brown feels increasingly like the transition from Thatcher to Major."<BR/><BR/><BR/>You mean new leader takes over, has a few difficult years in power then goes on to win the next election anyway…oh dear Danny, bit of a boob.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-87587201975773941852008-01-24T15:18:00.000+00:002008-01-24T15:18:00.000+00:00Don't expect to see the end of Hain.
