If Cleggie is saying this now, why was Danny Alexander sitting so close to Osborne this week in Parliament. Its seems that one LibDem hand doesn't know what another LibDem hand is doing !

Which is why Salmond is keen to be Elected to Westminster again.

Its obvious to anyone that the LibDems have more in common with Labour then the Tories. The modern LibDem party is, after all, partly made up of ex-Labour Party members, not ex-Tory Party members. If the SDP hadn't been formed in 1981, the Liberals would still be floundering around with 5-6 MPS, mostly from places where people like to roll their R's.

On one issue alone, Labour and the LibDems agree, and that is our continuing membership of the EU. And its this membership of the EU that always gives the Tories such a torrid time. It has been the cause of so much bloodshed and bitter in-fighting in the past and its doing so again, with the rise of UKIP, stuffed full of discontented Tories, led by a discontented former Tory activist.

Lets face it, all UKIP really amounts to is the militant wing of the Tory Party.

I want a straight Labour win and workable majority next year. But I am enough of a pragmatist to realise that a Labour led Coalition is better than a Tory led one. If there is a hung parliament next May, then I would be reasonably happy with a Coalition, with either the LibDems and/or the SNP. What is important to me is that we no longer have a Tory PM, and, even more importantly....we no longer have a Tory Chancellor.

It is difficult to read Osborne's famous Mais Lecture and not wonder were it all went wrong.

The gap between the utopia which he promised in 2010, and the readity today, is immense.

It is worth a read, just to remind yourself just how badly he has failed.

The coalition is falling apart after only four and a half years of it's five year term? Good god what an absolute shower.

Right old lefty love in going on here
Gromitsome of your statements are so propsterous that they dont even warrant answering.

I'm not a tory supporter but what happened to the double-dip, triple dip recessions so confidently (and gleefully) predicted, ad nauseam, by the AB lefty's.
Do you never tire of being wrong?

[ludwig]

Reality doesn't count Svejk. It's polls and predictions that are important.

..except when they say Labour aren't going to win of course. Then they're not important either.

The Government brought in some scriptwriters from 'Dallas' and pretended the Double dip had been a dream...
