[cma-l] BBC Radio 4: Bigging it up: 27 Sep 2010

[Tony Bailey]

As the beeb is steeped in history (some might say it should be left 
there) they probably need to read the wiki on the subject: The Queen 
calls the PM to form the Govt., who don't even have to members of the 
House of Commons - hence the popular saying "it doesn't matter who you 
vote for, the government gets elected"
