Duelling Davids
He pledged England-only votes in the House of Commons - but ruled out a separate English Parliament. "Only English MPs could vote, let's say, on English education policies or English health policies," he said.
I agree with Mr Davis, given that MPs have no influence on Scottish education policy (which is decided by MSPs), that representatives of the Scottish electorate should equivalently not have influence over English education policy. However, I have to wonder about Davis's reasons for supporting this — after all, it's not as if his party currently has any Scottish MPs...
Asked that most intimate of sartorial questions - what kind of underpants they prefer - David Davis and David Cameron revealed a crucial difference.
It's always nice to see the serious issues being addressed in these campaigns. Don't worry about the legalisation of ecstasy, or constitutional reform, let's ask them about their favourite bands and underwear preferences.
(Incidentally, both Davids said they like Coldplay more than the Scissor Sisters, which I think proves that Coldplay are pants, as I've said all along.)
