BULLSHIT. They are still an independant party who happen to be engaged in adult politics. Nick Clegg took the most pragmatic decision he could have among difficult decisions he had. Would you prefer a Tory majority?

The BBC also need to be dismantled and revamped completely after New Labour are banished from our memories, as they have been this odious governments beloved apparatchiks every step of the way.
Tony Blair won three elections; he created a minimum wage; he gave power back to Scotland and Wales; he got rid of hereditory peers; he signed Britain in to the 48-hour maximum working week directive; he signed into law the Human Rights Act amongst other things.
I'm half Scottish, I know what it means to have a Parliament of our own (even though I'm a unionist). What you've just said about Mr Blair is what ANY NORMAL AVERAGE LABOUR LEADER SHOULD DO. Nothing more, nothing less.
That's what we voted him for.
Submission to Mr Bush, Thatcherism and pro-war stances are what the Tories are meant to be doing. I didnae expect this from Mr Blair back in '97. I'm also libertarian on social issues, Labour are not, or NO LONGER. Lib-Dems are.
"Libertarian" means legalisation of what are not even drugs, such as cannabis and so on; it means legalising attitude towards any kind of matter: pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia, pro-gay marriage, and so on.
And most of all A HUGE WORK ON CIVIL RIGHTS.
Where was Tony Blair when he met pro-death penalty GW Bush??? And what about other criminals such as Putin or the Chinese government? Where was Labour?
Lib-Dem might not have the power to do all this, but they've long proved being true leftists.
The Liberal party (as they were once called) were the ones responsible for you having an old age pension and the fact nearly all people can vote, not to mention many health reforms that saved many people in the early 20the century which led to the NHS in the mid 40's. They did more for this country then Labour ever have, even though they've been out of power for 80 odd years.
And like I said, Blair should have kept his filthy hands off those peers.
It was a Labour govt that created the NHS in 1948, a Labour govt that abolished the death penalty, abolished national service, banned judicial corporal punishment, numerous equal and human rights acts over 5 decades, created minimum wage, maximum working week, greater democracy to scotland and wales and other regions, best increases in elderly provisions ever and healthy & safety protections in workplaces over 5 decades.
Actually it was the Conservatives who abolished National Service in 1960.
It was also Conservatives who banned CP in schools. I see Labour find hitting children is more acceptable than hitting convicted criminals. I wouldn't tout banning the detah penalty. I don't really want to pay for a mass murderer to spend his life in jail. Dispose of him please. It's also the Conservatives who began the decolonialisation of Africa.
I'm looking forward to seeing Labour cast into oblivion (and I don't mean the video game although they're probably more qualified to paly that than to run the country).
We'll be joined now by Michael Portillo...

Very true.
Labour are Marxists pretending to be conservatives.
Thankfully the people are seeing through their subversive, cultural Marxist policies.

It's going to be so good when the Conservatives outdo this result in 2010.

Getting rid of those peers wasn't a good thing.
But no one ever accused Labour of caring about Britain's culture and traditions.
