Clegg receives coalition support

Clegg receives coalition support
Liberal Democrat activists have voted overwhelmingly in support of the party's coalition deal with the Conservatives. Nick Clegg is reported to have told the conference: "You cannot escape the fact that Labour in its heart was preparing for opposition". The event in Birmingham is taking place against the backdrop of scepticism from some senior party figures over the coalition.

Little spoilt child...

My message to Charles Kennedy would be to "Give it a chance" - don't be so quick to judgement. Honestly! . . . you would think that the Nazis had somehow got into power, the way that some people are behaving. Labour were the Nasties - let's wait to see if this coalition can be at least better than that.

russell

Now they have voted in Favour let’s see if Kennedy and Cable believe in democracy. Or are they going to throw their toys out of the pram because they didn’t get their own way. Jelly and ice-cream boys?

Silent Hunter

Ain't democracy grand! :o) The only mistake Nick has made is in assuming that Labour had a heart - Labour have been heartless for 13 years; ask the poorest paid about the 10p tax debacle and they will tell you.

Cole

yhe LibDems will pay a very heavy price for joining up with the Tories.

Worse than if they had kept a corrupt Labour Government in power?

That's your most sensible comment tonight.

Christian Democrat

Am I to take it that the oh-so progressive Liberal Democrats will be campainging against the Labour Party on something bit more substantial than Gordon Brown standing outside 10 Downing Street with Baroness Thatcher from hereon now that they are in cohoots with the neo-reactionaries?

Christian Democrat

Labour might have been in thrall to the "cult of neoliberalism" but positive rights and social justice remained integral to the party. The 10p tax move was bone-headed but the basic rate was cut by 2p. Thing is you needed to be earning >£17,500 or so to have benefitted from that.
