We were pleased to see Nicola Sturgeon indicate that the SNP will only support a minority Labour Government on a vote by vote basis.
This is exactly what we suggested the Lib Dems should have done with the Conservatives.
Perhaps the ensuing annihilation of the Lib Dem Party will act as a warning to those who put personal elevation over their duty to the Country.
Perhaps the Political establishment are growing up at last. Lets wait and see!

"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.

NUS have the Right Strategy and more Groups should follow
Those interested in politics often debate what should one do in the event that they have been betrayed by those politicians who break their word.
There are many avenues open, but without doubt, one of the most efficient strategies is to mount various groupings to actively campaign in the constituencies in which individual MPs (and MEPS) have lied.
The NUS plans announced yesterday to lobby against Nick Clegg and other leading Lib Dems in their own constituencies to ensure they are not re-elected is absolutley 'spot on'. They misled students over University Fees and should pay the price. Prior to, and during, election campaigns the NUS should 'draft in' hundreds, yes hundreds of their members into the constituency and show that community the strength of feeling against their elected member.
Leaflets/newsletters, should be printed now and despatched on a monthly basis. MP surgery's should be massively attended showing the MP the strength of feeling against him/her. Poster campaigns (OK it costs money but this can be raised) should be adopted. Make the MP the figure of ridicule where-ever he or she goes - and the failure of just 1 not to get re-elected will send a very clear warning to all MPs and Party Leaders that they should not take the electorate for granted or treat them as fools.
The Lib Dems leadership betrayed the electorate over student fees. They have swallowed their principles to gain power (and use the excuse of working together). They have proven to be a hypocritical Party no different from the others.
They should be brought down now so that a space is left for a new and genuine Party to rise and 'fill the gap'.
We thought this Party once, should be UKIP, but we can see that the leadership there too has swallowed its principles and gone native. Led, by the much disliked and distrusted Nigel Farage, their MEPs are living off the Hog and enjoying their 'new found' Euro Wealth and have done little to truly represent the people who placed them there. (You only have to ask some of their own MEPs who have recently fallen out with their Leader).
No, UKIP is not the answer, but once we remove the 'Third Party' a New one will emerge, and in view of the dishonesty of the others, lets hope it happens quickly.

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?

Labour at Last makes the Right Decision
Brown is to go.
No deal with the Lib Dems.
This is the only way, Labour can survive.
Allow the Tories and Lib Dems to form their unholy pact and there will be another General Election within 12 months against what will then be, an unpopular Coalition Government.
We are not saying that we want Labour to win that election, but by walking away, they stand an outside chance of doing so - its the only option they have.
For the rest of us, the demise of Gordon Brown and New Labour is the best news in over 13 years.
