Nick Clegg

Live, Country, Said

Stockwell Day

Around, Voting, Purpose

Said, Happened, Yes

Rory Bremner

War, Sorry, Ignore

I don't think the Republicans would appreciate the comparison, but they're exactly like the Labor Party in England in the 1970s. They're letting their extremists take them straight down.

Evan Thomas

Down, Happen, Same
