Remember the presumption of innocence. Guardian has this story... EU fraud watchdog considering Nigel Farage investigation Olaf agency is carrying out an assessment of payments made by Arron Banks...

Point of fact: Very, very far from first. :) (Yes, first big one of this campaign.)

Would require ever such high quality, fine-grain GPS.

Vince Cable going as well - 23rd July.

UK isn't a normal democracy! Although she is expected to receive and take advice, it is the queen who has to choose who to ask to form a government.

Your post started with: Let me explain very quickly what is going to happen next: I simply pointed out that you did not provide any explanation. I didn't claim any superior ability to guess.

Funnily enough, she is quoted (on Wiki) as having said something with which I agree: In April 2013 at the Hansard Society's annual parliamentary affairs lecture, Leadsom warned against the UK leaving the European Union, stating that "I think it would be a disaster for our economy and it would...

Maybe careful consideration of the wording and meaning of any oath would avoid that?
