Derek’s comments illustrate the fatal flaw in our current electoral system. Labour and the Tories have come to believe they have a divine right to rule and are so wrapped up in power for powers sake they have lost all sense of humility and dignity in the face of the democratic process. Anyone dissenting from their view is simply told they are getting in the way of the natural order and is relegated to commentator status. As a result both parties become practically indistinguisable and the rump of the electorate slowly loses interest thereby exacerbating the problem.

Yeah John, but the Lib-Dem’s have spent the last century talking a lot and doing nothing with regard to real politics.

In the meantime, they continue to struggle with their identity, morphing it into whatever populist character they see fit at the time in ways that even the Tories and NuLabour would balk at. Can’t even decide amongst themselves who they would side with if a hung parliament is the general election outcome. Locally though, that precedent has been set.

And yes, of course Cable would never chase votes. Duh!

Lib Dems are more of a think-and-do-tank unlike labservative who have spent the last century doing without thinking.

The chancellors debate was a case in point – Cable’s victory of substance and experience over Osborne and Darling’s superficial poll chasing.

With the Lib-Dem’s it’s all talk. Just look at how they shafted Labour in their recent attempt to upset Tory rule at Calderdale Council in order to put themselves in a stronger position.

I’ll say it again for those with trouble hearing… Vince Cable is the lame mascot of a party with nothing much else to offer and no real clue what to do do with itself in the unlikely eventuality of a hung parliament, never mind the desperate fantasy of government. Just like the Green Party, the Lib-Dem’s would be better off as a think-tank, rather than trying to pursue the fool’s gold of parliamentary power.

And the Lib-Dems’s are both revolting and patronising.

“truely a night for Vince Cable”? Well, if the Lib-Dem’s economic acumen is anything like they’re spelling, we’ve all got major trouble if they ever get into power.

Cable is at best a weak talisman held up by the Lib-Dems to compensate for a no-mark leader and a party on the slide.
