Johnny Marr Will Reform The Smiths - If The UK Government 'Steps Down'

Rock legend Johnny Marr has claimed he will reform The Smiths – as soon as the UK government steps down.
Speaking to NME at the awards ceremony last night, which saw Marr pick up the award for best re-issue, Marr talked of the chances of a Smiths reunion – and said it would be a fair trade if the government stepped out of power.
Asked whether he’s spoken to Morrissey about getting back together, he replied: “I don't not speak to him, because that implies a certain standoff or whatever. He's doing his thing and I'm doing mine, and we go through periods of time when we're in communication and at times when we're not. I'm not sure he wants to communicate, so I'll just carry on doing what I'm doing, and live my life and be a musician.
“We won't be reforming this week. Maybe if the government stepped down. If this government stepped down, I'll reform the band. How's that? That's a fair trade, isn't it? I think the country would be better off, don't you? I'll do it if the coalition steps down.”
