I'd vote for you though . . . I wonder whether Chameleon will be demanding retrospective legislation to cover the situation where Cashcroft's UK company which has almost entirely been used to channel money from abroad into the Conservative Party barely escapes the law which prohibits this? If that company has only <i>just</i> traded might not HMG change the law to exclude so minimal a level of trading as being a sufficient condition for political donations <i>restrospectively?</i> As the 3 MPs accused of various frauds have not yet had their parliamentary privilege tested in the courts yet seeking changes seems precipitate, hasty indeed . . . That is one of Chameleon's problems, you never get nowhere if you're too hasty I recall. Great minds think alike . . . though I like to think of yours as greatish, Toby.
