Lord Mandelson - Cheeky Git!

Lord Mandelson says that a hung parliament might give "disproportionate power" to the Lib Dems. Does he know what disproportionate power is exactly? If he doesn't, then I'll tell him.

Firstly, it's throwing your weight around in cabinet or the corridors of power, spinning against your colleagues and generally acting as a prince of darkness.

Secondly, it's deluding yourself that you can govern a country when only 20% of the total electorate have actually decided to affirm your party as the right one to govern.

Peter Mandelson does actually know about disproportionate power. He has lived with the knowledge that all his dealings and dodges have been about making sure the scales are weighted in his favour. So he's the last person in the country to be talking about disproportionate power!
