David Davis has resigned as an MP so that he can contest a by-election on a manifesto of repealing 42 days internment, getting rid of ID cards and the database state and reducing CCTV.
Apparently, he asked David Camoron to come out and promise to repeal 42 day internment if they win the next election but Captain Flip Flop refused so he resigned.
It’s a shame DD didn’t beat Camoron in the Conswervative Party leadership contest because then, instead of the next Prime Minister being a two-faced, wishy washy cretin, we might actually have someone with principles and a backbone. Then again, DD was the Conswervatives’ greatest advocate of an English Parliament until he realised that it would harm his prospects in the leadership contest so perhaps his principles only matter when they can be turned into the mother of all publicity stunts. The Lib Dumb leader, Nick Clegg-over, has agreed not to field a candidate in opposition to DD which I guess DD had already agreed before taking his principled stand because the Lib Dumb candidate wasn’t far off beating him last time there was an election.

will he still have the whip or will he have wear the ‘white suit’?
Will ukip be standing?
It would appear Bob Spink voted with the government… And given that Davis has a history of Euroscepticism, it wouldn’t be a good idea for UKIP to stand against him.
Cameron cannot hide forever on this issue. He should put together an alternative plan of action to tackling terrorism that does not include 42 days, including the use of wiretap evidence.
