altus Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Can I remind you of a quote from Mr Clegg "The day before I was elected leader, Mr Cameron suggested we join them. He talked about a “progressive alliance”. This talk of alliances comes up a lot, doesn’t it? Everyone wants to be in our gang. So I want to make something very clear today. Will I ever join a Conservative government? No. Will I ever join a Labour government? No. I will never allow the Liberal Democrats to be a mere annex to another party's agenda. But am I interested in building a new type of government? Yes. Liverpool 2008: Nick Clegg's Leader's Speech http://www.libdems.org.uk/speeches_detail.aspx?pPK=3efdf716-ae50-4272-b6ea-a35066221880&title=Liverpool_2008%3A_Nick_Clegg%27s_Leader%27s_Speech Odd that you missed the next line of the speech out: "Based on pluralism instead of one party rule? Yes." Which shows the real meaning rather than your rather sad attempt to quote out of context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Still, the LDP did nationally: a. join a Conservative government; and b. become a mere annex to another party's agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a Conservative government. You really need to get your head around the idea of coalitions - it's not that difficult to understand.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We don't have a Conservative government. That's news to the Prime Minister, surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank ryan Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 very disappointed that no libdem rep was at the polling station today - had a 'what's it like to attend your own funeral?' line prepped. looking forward to the libdem annihilation tonight, the decent enough libs who've gone from councillor suchabody to mr suchabody will, presumably, be a bit dischuffed - hopefully they'll go baying for clegg and alexander's blood - ideally lead to the fall of the gimp coalition whilst the tories are behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodeno Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I was the recipient of a 'vote lib dem' leaflet today. are they<removed> joking? who in their right mind would vote for the lying, duplicitous judases ever, ever, ever again.

frank ryan Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 They need wiping out as a minimum punishment if the opinion polls are correct they are being as we speak - 8-12% of the vote-green party/ UKIP territory. let's see the look on clegg's increasingly haggard face tomorrow, a bit different from the flirtatious cow eyed glances of 2 years ago as he was led by the hand by cameron towards his political execution. can't wait.
