"Children's Secretary Ed Balls has challenged his Conservative opposite number to a public debate on education in England. Mr Balls said he was writing to Michael Gove to propose dates for a question and answer session with parents, pupils, teachers and governors." - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8439471.stm
Two of the most obnoxious men in British politics, head to head in a debate?
Apart from hoping that the roof will cave in, and crush them both to death, I can see only one winner here: David Laws*. (And he's a bit of a knob-end, too.)
Tactical Note to Messrs Cameron and Clegg: When referring to Gordon Brown as "a Prime Minister desperately clinging on to power" remember to preface the PM part of that with the word unelected. At every opportunity. Really hammer the point home. Again and again. He'll get the message eventually and, with luck, so will the electorate.
