Clegg reiterates convention call

Jon Bright (London, OK): Nick Clegg is repeating his previous call for a reform of Britain's political system today, and will apparently describe Labour as "gutless, heartless and incompetent" for how they paid for their inheritance tax cut. He will call for a convention of 100 or so people to debate a reform of Britain' political structure - and wants to propose a £25,000 maximum donation limit. Probably also worth reiterating that at the moment the latest polling still shows a hung parliament. Would Gordon Brown accept the convention in return for a coalition government with Clegg?
