The only other building under serious consideration is 25 Victoria Street, which is currently the office of... [the] Conservatives In The European Parliament. (England Expects)
I bet if this does come to anything, they'll be a large number of people telling the Conservative Party not to allow it to happen.The only other building under serious consideration is 25 Victoria Street, which is currently the office of...
