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.

Really? And what would it take to convince you that the Lib Dems have not just shot themselves in the foot, but thrown hand-grenades at it - if you are not convinced by the sight of large and angry parades where Cameron was ignored while Clegg was treated as a hate object? Or by the Lib Dem collapse in Saddleworth? I've got this picture of HA saying she's not convinced, while in the background Nick Clegg is tied to a stake and people are running around gathering faggots... 8-)
