It's a bit of a soft article, a bit too warm and fuzzy, but it's an interesting read. I'll try and put more sources up.

Is 'chuffed' a good or bad thing?

I'm not sure it is the role of the government to "give" leave to anyone.

If you think about it from the business perspective, it sounds like the government is forcing private employers to provide payments for the creation of leave? While I think that is fine and dandy, it penalizes people that choose not to have children or choose to stay single.

This also has the unintended consequence of creating disincentives for the hiring of family types. That may be offset by the greater stability of those in child-bearing relationships, however, it may not be.

Nick Clegg's wife is a Feminist.

Implying we needed moar reasons not to vote for him.
