What's to be done about the entire nation of Scotland going into opposition?

VAT's the easy tax but bad for the poor.

Should Labour choose more of the same in Miliband or Balls or should they have an untainted new leader?

Will free schools policies encourage social division?

Glowering from the back benches; will we have another Heathian sulk?

Have the tories/liberals given up too much?

Last minute line up.Lord Heseltine, Lord Falconer, Simon Hughes, Melanie Phillips and Mehdi Hasan.

1} should the lib dem supporters feel betrayed..Labour says yes. New Libs say no. quite heated, but as we all know Lab/lib rainbow was never an option.

2}Has Cameron given too much. Melanie Philips seems to think any deal was too much.Faulkner trying out the new elitist attack line. Got enough applause..it will be the deployed sound bite for a while.

3} how long will this coalition last: Fixed term parliaments. Something I'm in favour of.

4} Who should be next leader of the Labour party. I'd like Melanie Phillips to stand, just for the debate. Guess it will be Miliband unless Hattie wins in sneaky second votes again. Hassan just nicked my Miliband/Balls - Blair/Brown skit. Only just wrote that today! Luckily sent it off before it was thought plagiarised.

5}Oxbridge cabinet. Boo..boo.
If politics wasn't a university based career then it would not happen. Political class = a political class. Bound to happen.
Not sure that this has ever been much different though. Labour was the same with a few extra union types coming through. LD's lost 3 women MPs and gained 1. Thats the electorate, not the parties.

So ..winner is .
BQ - 3
Miss CD - just the 1
Botogol - 2 and a 1/2 for 5 more years.
ND - missed again. Can't believe they didn't get Dipstik OPEC. He's been on everyone else's show.
Mrs Dodge. Nothing there. You lot trying to be too clever tonight..
HG -1 . But some better questions than were asked. QT never does the Scots parliament one.
JH - Flint for Labour leader!
Mutley! how are you?..too slow.. but you got that one right.

Winner is me and I choose Manish Sood for the new labour leader.
{remember him?..no? ..don't worry..we'll all have forgotten Gordon by the times the world cup is over.}

QT has developed a very Westminster village feel to the range of qus chosen. I am sure it used to be more wideranging
