Of course they hold strong views about the supremacy of the commons, since
they happen to command a majority in it at the moment, and don't like to be
thwarted. Having to support a right wing authoritarian government must be
very frustrating for them, so exercising power over a politically incorrect
minority must come as a great relief.

Ironic, really, given what is going on in Leeds Castle at the moment, as a
result of a minority refusing to recognise the legitimacy of a
'democratically' elected regional parliament, all those years ago.
