Extraordinary news emerges this morning of rumours that David Cameron's Conservatives are planning to mount a smash and grab raid on 10 Downing Street, regardless of the outcome of Thursday's election.
The Conservatives have always made it clear that they oppose the introduction of a fair voting system, because they prefer a system that gives one party a majority to one that reflects what voters actually say they want.
To prepare to overlook the result of the 'first past the post' system they favour, if it doesn't suit them, therefore seems not only anti-democratic but hypocritical too. Somehow, this doesn't seem all that surprising.
