...good question. Few Brits would disagree with Clegg's calls for greater transparency in a parliament tainted by last year's serial revelations of the ways in which some MPs and peers milked a lax expenses regimen, Lib Dems among them. He's also likely to use any leverage to push for the introduction of a proportional-voting system and a right for constituents to recall MPs who break the rules.

How can it be fair to reason that Phelps is greater than an Olympic volleyball player, who has only one medal to compete for playing. If both athletes win all of the medals they were able to compete for, naming Phelps the greatest reveals its conditional meaning...
