It was always a strangest-of-bedfellows coalition.

I don't like Clegg, but him taking a potshot at Dave following his silly 'England is a Christian country' is only to be applauded.

Erm, the actual numbers in the CofE don't matter. Clegg is calling for the UK to no longer have an official religion. This is a matter of law, not of the number of churchgoers.

And it won't happen in any of our lifetimes.

Well, of course there's a chance - roughly the same chance that the YECs are right.
