Ooops Got That Wrong.

After his decision yesterday to resign from his post as the Chief Secretary to the Treasury* UK MP David Laws is apparently considering stepping down from Parliament all together. That means his decision to resign was not a stroke of tactical brilliance. Instead it was him collapsing into an emotional mess at the thought of his big gay secret being revealed to the world.

Now I can honestly say that prior to yesterday's revelations I had never given Mr Law's sexuality a moments thought. However from what I can gather to people who know him and work with him the announcement came as no surprise whatsoever.

This total failure in coming to terms with their own homosexuality is actually something of a trademark for the Liberal Democrats. In fact it has been said that the only reason Nick Clegg won the party leadership was because he was the only candidate who wasn't exposed as leading a not so secret gay double life.

*Seriously I think for the duration of this current Parliament that post should be renamed as "first bodyguard of the Exchequer."
