Hardly a surprise.

Problem is for the current government nothing seems to be going to plan for them. Expected growth forecasts have been readjusted down, inflation is higher than expected and public borrowing levels are higher than expected.

This damn snow has got a lot to answer for.

I'm afraid he is coming accross as very politically naive. It is fine saying these things in opposition when you think you have no chance of governing but quite another when you are running the country.

I think it will be a matter of time before he 'resigns'

I bet labour will have a field day!!!!

I think the proof of that was there when they started to speak to labour also. An obvious ploy to leaverage more out of a deal, not to support a stable government.

They took the only thing that could give them anything really. I don't think what they did was wrong but how they went about it was.

They should of said we will back the tories 100% on policy (for stable government) but distance them selves from the cabinet etc.

Then just carried on with their own policys and what they would do.

I suppose grudging votes rarther than front line politics.

RIP Lib Dems 2011

To be fair, I think it was RIP Lib Dems as soon as they formed the coalition - all their voters are now disillusioned, Clegg thinks he's done the right thing but really he's put the party back into the wilderness.

Not that there was much alternative in the circumstances, but still....

I mean who in their right mind is going to vote Lib Dem at the next General Election?

I'm not sure they will, Labour are lightweight at the moment and it will be at least a couple of years before they are clear about the political path they want to go down.They have few big hitters IMO and Joe Public haven't forgotton their mistakes so give it a couple of years and they might......

you'd only vote Lib Dem if they had a policy that you didn't want implemented.

Q - Why did Nick Clegg cross the road?
A - Because he said he wouldn't.
