Meanwhile the people in charge look like the bad guys for cancelling the election because no-one’s taking it seriously. Living in a democracy is one thing, but this is just taking the piss”.</p> <p>The decision by the monarch followed publication of Sunday newspapers where opinion polls continued to place Clegg ahead of the other main candidates, the earnest swatty boring one, and the cocky all mouth and no trousers one. The tipping point for the Queen, though, was the number of male columnists comparing Clegg to global heartthrob Barack Obama, and the women claiming that they always secretly fancied him.</p> <p>Queen Elizabeth II privately acknowledged that the wind-up was quite funny and that she can appreciate a joke -- “one did spend most of 2003 winding up Charles by leaving Saga ‘Enjoying Your Retirement’ pamphlets all over the palace, afterall” -- but the thought of seeing Clegg’s “heartbroken little face” when explaining to him and his parents on May 7th that they’d been victims of cruel mob-mentality bullying was too much. To nip the problem in the bud the act of supporting Clegg has now become an act of treason, and the Queen urged her subjects to use their time more constructively. Suggestions included convincing David Cameron he should “totally go on Britain’s Got Talent to do his wicked human beatbox”, or everyone getting together to start humming whenever Gordon Brown was speaking “to watch him really go mental”. </p>
