Cameron bricks it

David Cameron’s media release cardex system has spun round to “cuddle up to the LibDems” again.

On the BBC News he said that politicians should work together and then contradicted himself in the same breath by saying that a hung parliament must be avoided at all costs, so that there is ‘decisive, strong government’.

Hello?

Working together = hung parliament or “no overall control” as it is known in many very well working councils across the country.

“Strong, decisive government” = Not working together.

He said: “There are many things on which Conservatives and Liberal Democrats agree”.

Round spherical objects. Name one, smart alec.

The release notes seemed to have mentioned “green policies and decentralisation” as examples of areas of common ground.

Green policies? That presumably refers to things like his husky photo-opportunity. If you look at the policies I am still to see anything solid from the Tories which resembles a green tax plan, for instance.

Decentralisation? It would be wonderful to hear of any policies in this area from the Tories. The last Tory government tended to centralise with rate-capping and the council tax introduction.

David Cameron seems to be seriously bricking it about the slenderness of his lead.

In his New Year’s message he calls for “new politics”. That would be the “end of Punch and Judy politics” he called for four years ago would it (then turned out to be the best beach pupeteer in the trade)?

"There is a refreshing frankness to the musings of Liberal Burblings which single this blog out. The ability to not mince one's words is highly prized here and, when combined with the ability to profane without insulting the reader's intelligence, is excellent. Whether pondering on the state of the Lib Dems, the country or the world at large, you can rely on Liberal Burblings to tell it like he thinks it is." - www.politics.co.uk
