All this talk about personalities does mean that other important issues are pushed off the agenda. For example, the EU plans lots of new legislation in the Justice and Home affairs field. We know little of what is planned and this is one of the things the media should focus on.

You may not have noticed but Ireland are doing something that France & the Netherland did not do..they are planning a second vote. In other words, those at the top of the EU gravy train are going to do any deal or any trick to ensure that it is ratified. Gordon Brown's trick is not to give us a referendum because it's apparent that a lot of people here would vote "No".
There are lots of issues but the first one is to remove a PM and a party that is more focused on their own interests rather than the interests of the British people.
Maybe then we will get a government that puts our wishes & interests first.
