    There’s no point Labour activists grumbling about the influence of Rupert Murdoch and the right-wing press and trying to make excuses. This insults voters’ intelligence and ignores an obvious truth that’s been staring us in the face for some time."

  12. England 'too large' for federalismpublished at 15:48

    Former Scottish Secretary Malcolm Rifkind has been speaking about the future of the UK. He has called for a Royal Commission, saying a truly federal system won't work because of England's size.

    Quote Message

    You can never have a truly federal system like the United States or Germany because England is too large. England is 85% of the United Kingdom. You can't have an English Parliament and England does not want to be sub-divided into regions, each with their own parliament."

    Malcolm Rifkind

    However, Sir Malcolm adds: "You could go some way in that direction. You can have a quasi-federal system. Because you don't need uniformity."

    Liberal Democrat Baroness Williams earlier told The World This Weekend that democracy had been up for sale in the election - with many high-profile Lib Dem MPs "decapitated" by the power of money.

    Quote Message

    There was a decapitation strategy on the Conservative side, and then also on Labour's side, like for example the extraordinary targeting of Simon Hughes, long-standing and much beloved member of Parliament for Bermondsey. So I think what one's looking at is not just, you know, the normal swings and balances of politics. I think we're looking at something much worse, which is what I've seen in the United States as a Harvard professor on the subject, namely the selling of democracy.
