Lib Dems would back removal of Andrew from line of succession, says Ed Davey
Sir Ed Davey said it would be ‘intolerable’ for Andrew to succeed to the throne.
Liberal Democrats would support legislation to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession, party leader Sir Ed Davey has said.
Sir Ed said it would be “intolerable” for Andrew to succeed to the throne, saying this scenario is “not as remote as some people think”.
The Government has pledged to consider removing the former Duke of York from the monarchy’s line of succession.
The phrase "not as remote as some people think" suggests that Ed Davey is trying to climb on a political bandwagon and promote himself as a prudent, far-sighted statesman at the same time, carefully surveying all the constitutional risks.

Ed is scanning the constitutional horizon we might sarcastically suggest - but merely as a blatant opportunity to bring in another Horizon.
May as well take an opportunity to be sarcastic I reckon. He's an unpleasantly shameless political operator.
