As "House of Cards" returns for a third series, the British MPs who inspired its scheming anti-hero are playing out their own tragicomedy before a general election, complete with plot twists to do him proud. Many British MPs love the show and one of its catchphrases -- "You might very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment" -- has been used repeatedly on the floor of the House of Commons. "There's probably a grain of truth in it but I don't think we're quite as ruthless as bumping people off," Conservative lawmaker Michael Fabricant told AFP in a parliament tea room. "Or let's put it this way, I haven't found out," said Fabricant, a fan of the show who was an adviser on the original British TV version of "House of Cards".
