The last waltz beckons i feel !
There is a combination of the AV vote and Council elections in 2011. Poor results for the Liars Party could have interesting knock on effects on their party unity.
23.3 billion borrowed in November = largest ever borrowed in November in any year
This true and it may be that those seen as being outside the coalition have better chances. I can certainly see Simon Hughes surviving in Bermondsey and I bet Charlie Kennedy stays on but I don't fancy Nick Clegg or Danny Alexander's chances - unless they change seats.
This bloke has absolutely 0 credibility, how many people on here were lording him as the peoples hero, how wrong they were, spineless ****!!
Has Cameron bottled it?
Not sure - Clegg represents the poshest part of Sheffield (yes, there is a bit; Crookes, Fulwood, Dore, Totley, all in the same area), which used to be staunchly Tory. I can't see that area falling to Labour and the type of professional living in that area is not likely to go back to the Tories. Alexander apparently has a large personal vote in Inverness, but I can see quite a lot of Lib Dems in marginals falling; Eastbourne's Labour support in Hampden Park may re-emerge, also in places such as Cheltenham, Taunton, etc. Lib Dem success in these areas is largely based on squeezing Labour support down to virtually nothing: Ed will tell you that Labour was once strong in Lewes for example (didn't Labour get 37% of the vote in Newhaven in the County Council election of 1985?). Northern and university-dominated seats they have won from Labour like Manchester Withington, Bristol West and Cardiff Central and Norwich South will probably go back to them. Of course, being a smaller party, splits show far more in the Lib Dems than in the other two. For example, Milliband and Johnson can't even agree on a policy for tuition fees and many Tories do not agree with Ken Clarke, but hardly anyone notices.
I'm trying to work out which party you mean by the Liars party?
Well, this can't be down to the coalition as they haven't increased spending. Down to 'New' Labour, or should I say 'same old' Labour.
I do wonder if Clegg now wishes he had gone the other way ,would have suited many replace Brown and the softer approach whereas now come the next election desolation for him and his party
