Lib Dems can't decide! Who would have thought it??

If it weren’t true it would be laughable.
With all the hot air and misdirection about ‘fairer voting’ we are witnessing the most sordid exhibition of self interest exceeding even the lining of the pockets with taxpayer’s money from expenses scandal.

The notoriously indecisive Liberal Democrats can’t decide, surprise surprise, and are visibly wearing out any goodwill they might have with the electorate whilst emerging from under the Clegg spin as a really undesirable group of dispirit opinions and incapable of any part in government. They are running out of time and the country’s patience.

The Conservatives have gone far enough Cameron must shortly set a date for the ‘me first’ ditherers to jump one way, the other way, or just not decide anything; upon which my money is firmly planted. We will then have a minority Conservative government and another election within a year but with different electoral boundaries, something that really does make the process fairer.

It was a mistake for Cameron to offer the Liberal Democrats anything at all in the first place and one can only assume that he thought they might act honourably which, of course, they are unable to. By doing that he has kept Brown as Prime Minister and with it allowed total control of everything that happens to remain in the Prime Minister’s hands. Had he not made such an approach he would now be Prime Minister. Clegg stated in public that as the largest party, by far, the Conservatives should have the right to form a government either alone or through an agreement. Were Cameron to have chosen the minority government option Clegg would not have been able to even contemplate fixing a deal with Brown so any arrangement with the Lib Dems should have only been contemplated from a position of existing government.

There is no chance of a stable Lib Lab government because the numbers don’t stack up and by any stretch of the imagination this country overwhelmingly voted for a Conservative option. The oft mentioned lack of an overall majority is purely a consequence of the constituency boundary fixing engaged in by the Labour government shortly after 1997 designed to ensure them permanent election victories. With a similar share of the overall vote in 2005 Labour achieved a majority of 65 seats or so.

So we wait and with every passing minute the shady and indecisive Lib Dems lose support so I suppose it’s not all bad.
