Clegg, Milliband and Farage Must Go Now!

Clegg, Milliband and Farage Must Go Now!

As predicted, when they formed the Alliance with the Conservatives, Clegg has destroyed his Party for his own political gain. Ironic that he has kept his Westminster seat when most of his colleagues have lost theirs. The Lib Dems have been decimated and it will take a generation to recover - if they ever do.

Milliband has failed his Party. He and Ed Balls have failed to persuade the electorate that they were heading a winning team. Milliband lacks charisma, and was too closely allied to the failed Blair's 3rd term. A new leader is required.

Farage, must also go. Not only has he failed to win his own seat (which he has fought 6 times- despite more publicity than any other local candidate could hope to achieve), but his Party have won just 1 seat (and that was because Carswell has a personal following far beyond Party Political boundaries). 

So despite Leading UKIP for the past 10 years and being its de-facto leader in the previous 10 years, UKIP has won no legitimate seats  of its own account. A miserable failure in National Politics for over 20 years - proving they are just a protest Party. Look what the SNP have achieved in considerably less time. They did this by focussing, targeting and having a non-racist type policy and fighting legitimately for their own people and not for the financial benefits that their elected officials could draw.

So goodbye, Nick; Goodbye Ed and Goodbye Nigel - bow out and disappear and let others lead your parties to success.

Why is no-one asking Clegg the right Question?

We watched the Andrew Marr show this morning listening to Clegg claiming the powerful influence he has over the Tories by being part of the coalition.

What rubbish.

Interviewers should ask the question - why would he have any less influence if he just held the balance of power and 'negotiated' each piece of legislation? 

In this way it would be more transparent to the British Public and would not tie the Lib Dems so closely to the Conservatives.

All Lib Dems should insist that their Party comes out of the Coalition before they are annihilated at the next General Election.

By the way, Clegg's undertaking that he would never accept a Tory Peerage in the future may prove as honest as (Lord) Kinnock and (Lord) Prescott's undertakings  to abolish the House of Lords.

"Lib Dems has not lost its Identity" - REALLY?

When the Lib Dems formed their alliance with the Tories, we stated that this is the end of their identity and future prospects. If the Alliance policies go well, the Tories will take the credit. If they go badly, the Lib Dems will be blamed for supporting such a 'rotten' Government.

Their Alliance was a Lose/Lose situation.

Clegg could have exercised more power by being the Party that decides the outcome in a hung Parliament. Instead, he jumped for Office and personal grandisement. His Party has and will continue to pay the price for his personal and political enrichment.

At the Spring Party Conference Clegg told delegates "I haven't been kidnapped by David Cameron. I haven't changed one bit". We believe him. He is not a true Lib Dem following traditional Liberal values with a social bent. He is as much a Tory in our view, as Cameron himself. His birthright, upbringing, and political apprenticeship supports this.

He is no more Lib Dem than Tony Blair was Traditional Labour.

Its time his Party woke up to this fact and eject him and remove themselves from the coalition as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it will be another 100 years or so before they taste power again.

The Next Labour Leader is : Miliband of Course !!!

Well, while Cameron and Clegg enjoy their honeymoon period and stare lovingly into each others eyes, a more down to earth and poigniant relationship is under way.

The next Labour leader will be a Miliband - the question is Ed or Dave? The other contenders do not come close and Balls appears as smug on camera as Portillo did in the old Tory Party days (though Portillo appears more acceptable now he is out of office).

The brothers have to beware. Each of them are equally ambitious and have their own strengths, but they must not damage each other to win the contest.

In our view, it won't make any difference who wins - as Labour will not be governed by the Leadership any more but by its own internal interested parties - and especially the Trade Unions - despite what is said in front of the camera.

Deals are being done for support, and it will cost the brothers dearly. However, if your whole life has been centred upon becoming Prime Minister (as Cameron has) you are likely to submit to any cost to achieve that goal. Whoever wins, and if the public ever trust Labour again, we will have another couple staring blissfully at each other and back slapping at the front of No 10.

Todays politicians have little conviction, and as we have seen with the expenses scandal, are bought off very cheaply. Its a shame and a disgrace, but interesting to watch nevertheless!

Did Clegg and Cameron have a choice?

Many Liberal Democrats meeting today were upset about the alliance with the Conservatives.

We ask the question however, did they have any choice?


The Party - Yes - but Clegg - No.

Under Clegg's leadership the Party lost seats. There were rumblings about replacing him. This alliance has, in our opinion saved his bacon.

Take the Tories, failing to obtain an overall majority - despite a long serving unpopular Government and a hapless, uninspiring, unelected sitting Prime Minister.

If they had failed to form a Government, Cameron, (we believe) was finished.

The 2 "twins" fate were entwined.

Now we have a Government where the Lib Dems will be absorbed by the Conservative Party providing Great Britain with a 2 Party State again. (Some conspiracy theorists believe we are in a 1 Party state and this is the conduit to formalise it).

The British people have been conned again. Please no-one mention UKIP. Our view is that UKIP is a Shadow Tory Party running to enrich a few select people and providing a depository for disenchanted Tories.
These êx-Tories (Eurosceptics) have been coralled into a Party, which
has zero chance of making any headway because of the unbelievable antics of its leadership. So their impact is neutralised.

Only when another Party comes along, with strong financial backing, an Incorruptable Leader, (not from the Political or Eton/Oxbridge Class) can the British people trust in Politics again.

The question is, does such a Person/Party exist?
