Liberal Democrat minister, Andrew Stunnell, has walked into the wrong voting lobby and refuses to come out.

Speaker has ordered the lobby cleared, so this ends soon one way or another.

I think so. The Labour MP's did not really focus on how it ended, so I guess somehow he won, otherwise they would have been all over it.

"A minister inadvertently found himself in the wrong lobby in a Commons vote after a mix-up with a glass of water."

"In the House of Commons, MPs vote by walking through one of two lobbies - one if they are voting yes, and the other if they are voting no. "

"Lobby doors are closed eight minutes after a vote is called and the only way for an MP to get out is to walk past the tellers -" ... "- thereby registering a vote."

"Could you confirm that when he was locked in the wrong lobby, the minister bravely took refuge in the toilet - as the Conservative minister barked orders at him through the doorway?"

I wish that Clegg and Cameron would create a new Liberal-Conservative party, and the super-right-wing-crazies would leave the Tories, and the clearly-socialist-left-wingers would leave the LibDems, and thus create a new right of centre party.

Am I the only one who is more than just a little pissed that Clegg did not use the Huhne situation to bring Laws back into cabinet?
