And he'll get that second crown no matter who wins!
Yup, that's right.
Good old Gordo!
How will he achieve this feat? Well, he doesn't even need to do anything to get it!
It's all to do with the Cabinet Manual. Without it, the state would be thrust into constitutional crisis on Friday morning when no one outright-wins the general election. That manual is the closest thing we have to a written constitution, though everyone is at pains to point out that it is not a written constitution. In an earlier post, I referred to the manual as "Man Friday," the Union's faithful servant. That's because everyone is going to be using to it to figure out who gets into 10 Downing St.
Without it, the Union would be doomed!
And guess who asked for that manual to be created?
Yup, you guessed it - it was Gordo! Here he is towards the end of a speech he gave back in 2nd Feb 2010:
There is a wider issue – the question of a written constitution – an issue on which I hope all parties can work together in a spirit of partnership and patriotism.
I can announce today that I have asked the Cabinet Secretary to lead work to consolidate the existing unwritten, piecemeal conventions that govern much of the way central government operates under our existing constitution into a single written document.
Doesn't that make your heart soar? No general election coverage henceforth will be complete without daily worship of The Great Book of State, the Cabinet Manual!
All hail the Gordo!
Gordo might have one eye but he saw into the future with it to save the Union from constitutional crisis.
Go Gordo! Roaaarr!!
