Thus the most honest political analyst de nos jours, Guido:
Despite the “Yes to AV” side being largely staffed by LibDem activists, funded by LibDem donors and essentially a LibDem campaign to keep them in power, Nick Clegg is keeping a low-profile. This is because the Yes side want to portray themselves as anti-politics, despite AV being the ultimate politicians fix. Under AV Clegg will be able to cut a political deal to save his skin behind closed doors with whomever gets the most votes, never mind the manifesto promises…
So, a wheeze to make permanent the current situation which satisfies no-one who requires politicians to stick to their principles, a concept entirely unknown to LibDems, but gives undreamed-of power to otherwise unelectable LibDems politicos, and stuff the voters.
'Democracy'? How do you spell that? 'Liberal'? Yeah, right. These are the jokes, folks.
SNAFU: LibDem hypocrisy and self-serving manoeuvering.
Such blatent vote rigging would never be alowed under my government as you will see from my Representation of the People Act to be published shortly.
ReplyDeleteThe best example is yesterday with the "With AV Gordon Brown would have won" campaign...nobody needs to say anything else.
