Is Robin now Cornwall's most powerful politician?

Robin Teverson
Cornwall councillor Robin Teverson, member of the House of Lords, former member of the European Parliament, is also a member of the Liberal Democrats' Federal Executive.
As such he is one of about 35 people who will be invited constitutionally to comment on any potential coalition deal which might (or might not) enable David Cameron to become Prime Minister. No such luck for any of the three new Conservative MPs elected in Cornwall last week - the closest they get to "consultation" is what they read in the media.
Robin's wife, Terrye, was the defeated Lib Dem candidate in the Truro & Falmouth constituency. Yet opinions discussed in the Teverson household this morning quite possibly count for more than any number of votes cast by Conservative supporters on Thursday. It's a funny old world.
