Cable is a populist - do the liberals have any policies that they are prepared to stick with, even if it means less votes? Anyway, at least people should know where Darling and Osborne are coming from.

In relations between Liberals and Tories would you advise the use of protection?

I dont personally know anyone on the left who is seriously interested in the US Presidential race, never mind arsed enough to be bothered by some cartoon in the New Yorker. Maybe they were liberals?

Are some people annoyed by the BNP solely because they are really disgustingly horrible, or because they stole their tactics as well? Sometimes I don't know who is more to the right, Thatcherites or Liberals.

When Nick refers to "liberals" I assume it is self-referential and nothing to do with the left, that's why I thought it was a reasonable article.

Oh well!

So quite a few people were suckered by Clegg and the populist Cable, but it just goes to confirm that you can fool some of the people almost all of the time.

As for a Clegg and Cable betraying their "progressive" support, it's about time that "progressives" got a clue, and stopped being so bloody naive.

Vince Cable for PM.

That's all.

I can understand your bias, but personally I'd rather have you as PM than Vince.

I have just read the comments by Vincent Cable, Jo Swinson, Norman Baker and John Curtice, and have one question.

Considering that the UK lacks a decent democratic, secular, egalitarian and just constitution; considering that the electoral system weighs rather than counts votes; and, considering the effectiveness of republican federalism in supporting the needs of a modern civil society, is this collection of frail soundbites really the best that the Lib Dems can come up with?

So populist it would make Hugo Chavez and Vince Cable blush.

In an interview with The Observer, Vince Cable, the Lib Dem treasury spokesman, abandoned the party's historic commitment to 'ever closer' European integration and its decade-long push for rapid British entry into the euro system.

Liberals = Sentimental Tory Gits.
