Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 22 October 2007.


Prime Minister: Dissolution of Parliament

Question
My Lords, is it not the fact that the Prime Minister became bedazzled and then befuddled by opinion polls? Does the Minister agree that it would be better if all politicians took less notice of these insidious exercises?
Answer

My Lords, in my household they are revered as instruments that enable people to make many decisions, and not just in politics. As for my right honourable friend, he certainly was never bedazzled or befuddled.
