Over the last few weeks and particularly after the coalition was announced, and also in the run up to the emergency budget, there has been a lot of Labours attacks directed towards the Lib Dems.

There are a lot of statements going round that Labour supporters were right to warn that if you voted Clegg you would get Cameron, this is utter nonsense. Firstly only people in Sheffield Hallam actually got to vote for Clegg but lets just ignore that mistake. In many constituencies, like mine, it is a choice… [Read more…]

Before the election Nick Clegg promised ad nuasium that he was not the king maker, it was the people and if a party had a clear mandate then they should govern. Seams pretty sensible we are a democracy after all and we do kind of like it (we’ve even dropped it into our name). Pretty… [Read more…]

Today’s ComRes poll (although initial released in spectacular unweighted form) what was expected by many commentators, the leadership debate helped Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems.

Every party leader has trying to use some… [Read more…]

It would have been very easy for the Lib Dem’s to have joined the attack on Labours National Insurance tax rise (which it is, its not a conservative tax cut) but they haven’t, and it doesn’t seam to have annoyed that many of the Liberal Democrat grass roots, or Labour or the conservatives which poses… [Read more…]

I have yet to watch the Chancellors debate however I have already picked up on a couple of things from the media coverage. Firstly Osborne’s announcement that he wouldn’t raise NI has turned out to be a very good move as it has stolen the impetuous of the debate. Instead of this being about debating Labours budget… [Read more…]
