The best place to get in touch directly is on Nick's website or on Facebook, where Nick regularly asks for his friends' views on current issues.

great work cleggy, i hope you will be leader of the opposition after the next general election. a quick question though, why isn't a motion that is debated in parliament and wins a majority not go straight to law?

[LibDem]

It wasn't a vote on a law, just on a motion expressing a view, but it's disgraceful that the Government seem to be planning to ignore Parliament's decision. (Laws have to go through lots of stages of scrutiny, and through both the Commons and the Lords.)

thanks, on another note, since you are so knowledgable, why at the start of PMQ's does someone say something like 'no.1', then gordo says stuff like he's in meetins and stuff? always wondered that?

[LibDem]

Questions to ministers are submitted in advance and printed on the day's order paper, so at question time, rather than reading out the whole question, the MP says the number of their question.

At PMQs, there is an odd tradition that everyone just asks what the PM's engagements are rather than give away their surprise questions in advance, so the PM always answers this as the first question, and the person who said "No. 1" then gets to follow it up with a proper question.

I don't have anything against immigrants, all my friends essentially migrated here. But like, the party is full don't let more people in for no other reason than we lack the space.

[AbuNohandsza]

[facejapan]

well said!, just ignore the uneducated illierate extremist. his just another of many english people with there head burried in the sand, too busy worried about keeping his political correct views in check.

[facejapan]

yet more immigrants!, i don't mind the idea of gurkhas living here because they earned it. but whats with letting so many more immigrants in the country when there are no jobs!, meaning more people too boost the unemployed rate. sorry but you know nothing your just another political correct tosser whos too high up from reality.
