Con Dem Collapse

The Guardian reports that the Con Dem government may collapse when the proposed boundary changes are put to the House of Commons.  Of course, the boundary changes were only ever a quid pro quo for the Tories agreeing to a referendum on the Alternative Vote.  A strikingly tawdry back room deal.  It takes a politician of Nick Clegg's calibre to agree such an utterly cynical deal, and then get no actual beenfit from it because you lose the referendum.
