Nick Clegg's FOCUS on the future

Hah. That didn't take long.

Sources close to Clegg stressed that the Lib Dems' central objective was now to stop the Tories winning an outright majority at the next election – and for them to have an option to team up with Labour. Observer 

Good lad. That's exactly what we Tories need you to be saying between here and the next election. All together now, Tories: 'I agree with Nick.'

Oh yes, you keep going, boyo. Show the electorate exactly what people like me, bloodied by decades of electoral trench warfare with LibDem hypocrites, liars and fakers, know your Liberal (not) Democrat (not) Party (make that two parties) to be - a self-serving bunch of unprincipled, ever-hysterical fight-addicted bastards who will say anything, do anything, to get elected. From Parish Council to Westminster to Brussels, the whole of your parties' (sic) truth-free, principle-free political, electoral and campaigning policy can be summed up in your never-say-it-aloud Rule #1: Just Get Fucking Elected And Take No Prisoners.

In government with the Tories, you're Tory. Bitching and screaming, but Tory enough not to get kicked out. Biting your tongues must be killing those of you continent enough to manage it.

The polls now say there is a slim chance that Labour will be the largest parliamentary party, and wow, whodathortit, you're back in Ed's progressive majority before anyone can say knife-in-the-back, Socialists to a man/woman. Still, gotta keep Huhne, Cable, Shirley & Co on side, haven't you? Especially after this week's kicking by the increasingly popular Tories (suck it up, Cable) and the electors.

So, yes. Keep it up, Nick, do. Show 'em what yer made of - shite.

Actually, nobody but the hacks (needing the copy) care any more. You're out of Sheffield at the next time of asking and your MPs will all be able to share a taxi. Assuming your party funds run to a taxi.

Have a nice day.
