Not "is" but "was". The best argument for electing a Lib Dem govt is our policies and nothing to do with other parties choice of personnel. Anything Coulson did was prior to joining the Tories so he is not like McBride. Try reading up on a subject before commenting on it. HTH. Darren, wrong tense. Not “is” but “was”.

Exactly. Which is why all MPs should encrypt their e-mail. Now. If the Damien Green affair wasn't enough, what more do they need now that the News of the World could be reading their correspondence? @Joe Otten: “…party leaders are an obvious choice.”

Why not? If you're spying on thousands of people, party leaders are an obvious choice.

If the director of communications for a political party which may soon form a government is tacitly involved in bugging the 'phones from the MPs of other parties, amongst other people, then we have a situation where the next Government could be one that shows utter contempt for the rule of law and the privacy of its citizenry. If there was ever an argument for electing a Liberal Democrat government surely this is it? This could be not dissimilar to Watergate, and only slightly less serious.
