Believes, apparently that those who say the unemployed should not be allowed to vote

Should "dodgy Dave" have recanted and is not "anarcho-socialist red" Ken Clarke correct?

They'll be saying next that people who do have jobs but are only on minimum wage shouldn't vote. bring back voting for the toffs only :-(

what we need are more rotten boroughs where only the wealthy can vote.

I agree jno - more robber buttons!

[chrissa1]

What a horror story of a man. The one thing his suggestion does do though is expose him as being totally unsuitable for any sort of public office, so it's probably as well he said it really.

Blackadder: Dunny-on-the-Wold is a tuppenny-ha'penny place. Half an acre of sodden marshland in the Suffolk Fens with an empty town hall on it. Population: three rather mangy cows, a dachshund named `Colin', and a small hen in its late forties.

George: So, no people at all, then? Apart from Colin...

Blackadder: Colin is a dog, sir.

wouldn't it be wonderfully ironic if he got his wish and he was unemployed at the next general election
