Championship record

[fpb]

In the race between the three main parties at who can be the slimiest and most unprincipled, the LibDems have taken what seems so far an unassailable lead. It has been revealed that, two months before they went to the polls on a written pledge from every candidate to oppose university tuition fees, the LibDem leadership already regarded such pledges as worthless in the event of a coalition government. As a coalition government was the only likely way for the LibDems to enter government, this means that the LibDems offered written pledges to their electorate that they knew to be worthless. This is championship standard stuff, well ahead of Cameron's "cast-iron promise" with the built-in rust and miles beyond Gordon Brown's attempt to blame anyone but himself for his own choices.
