Let down by the Lords

Lord Forsyth was obviously of the same mind as Calton as he tried to torpedo the progress of the Section 30 order through the Lords today. Sadly he didn't succeed and so Alex Salmond and the SNP are free to ignore the advice of the Electoral Commission if they so wish. They probably do wish, since not listening to people seems to be their forte. Looks like Calton's confidence in the House of Lords was a bit misplaced. He is therefore heading off to bed with his head firmly under his wing and a resolution to try not to worry about the effect independence might have on his pension. Otherwise he'll never get any sleep.
