Oral answer to question provided on Monday, 22 October 2007 in the House of Lords, by Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour).


Prime Minister: Dissolution of Parliament

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.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Monday, 22 October 2007 by Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat).

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?
