How can you tell there's an election 'round the corner?

quote:
British Prime Minister Tony Blair says that Britain will one day have a gay Prime Minister.

"I don't think people would reject a Prime Minister simply on the basis that he was gay," Blair said in an interview with the gay magazine Attitude. He also told the magazine that there are "plenty" of homosexual ministers just below Cabinet level.


*snip*

quote:
[Conservative leader Michael] Howard told Attitude that he has changed his mind about the controversial Section 28, which banned schools from "promoting homosexuality."

[...]

“I thought, rightly or wrongly, there was a problem in those days. That problem simply doesn’t exist now. It’s not a problem, so the law shouldn’t be hanging around on the Statute Book.”


*snip*

quote:
The same article included an interview with Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy in which he claimed that many gays are switching to his party because of their disenchantment about the “unfinished agenda” on gay rights of the two more established parties.

Kennedy's telling the truth. Blair and Howard are lying.
