The Lib Dems secret weapon in the AV debate - Floella Benjamin!!!!

And through the round window......

Once upon a time I signed up to receive Lib Dem updates via email. Not that they've had much to shout about and by chance the email always ends up in my junk folder - think Hotmail is a good judge. So imgaine my suprise when I checked out my junk folder to find their latest bit of AV literature, which starts:

Dear Friend,Today I launched the Liberal Democrats' Yes! To Fairer Votes campaign in Manchester, along with over 100 of our local members and supporters.

We heard speeches from Floella Benjamin, Simon Hughes MP, John Leech MP and Gordon Birtwistle MP on how incredibly important it is that we win the Fairer Votes referendum.

Now I'm not sure who writes these emails (the guys who write Harry Hills' TV Burp?), but if the best they can muster is Floella Benjamin (not that there's anything wrong with the Playschool lovely) then they're in big trouble. Mind you she'll have more to say than the ever wet Simon Hughes, while I struggle to picture John Leech and Gordon Birtwhistle.

The Lib Dems are quickly beginning to become a parody of themselves and I personally am having to remember that we've actually got a coalition government (are you?).
