We are reaping, with the Liberals in co-power, what you sowed.

I agree with you G.
How can you make something so momentous into a version of Britain's Got Politicians?
It was a farce and should never ever be repeated.

I think the politicians forget that they are elected to do a job of work(look after running the Shop that is GB.Co.UK)...they are not stars, they are not celebrities......and performing well in front of a camera does not in itself ensure that they will do a good job in that big house on the banks of the Thames.

It was all spin and media hype of the very worst kind.

Vince Cable is about the only politician who "got it" that Gordon Brown's debt-based economy was doomed to crash. He was the only one who "saw it coming", when the economy was apparently booming. He deserves a great deal of credit for this in my view.

I think it is a shame he now has to tow the line a lot more, however I liked it when he told Question Time the truth about the Housing Bubble and that we are the most indebted nation on earth.

Yes, I heard him tackle Gordon Brown about it too. Although I didn't vote for the Liberals, I felt really sorry for them when they opened the books and and realised that GB Limited was bankrupt and there was no way on earth they could hand out goodies to those who'd voted for them.

Oh yes, Vince Cable is a politician of great principle.

Pre-election, pledging to oppose any rise in student tuition fees.

Post-election, as a member of the coalition government, voting to increase those same tuition fees.

The Liberals had it great for about a hunderd years. Coming out with all kinds of guff, knowing they hadn't a cat in Hell's chance of forming a government.

Until a load of numpties watched the telly, and thought 'That nice Nick Clegg' deserved to win Pol Idol.

I think it stuck in his craw having to defend the student loan hike. Let's face it, he was "got to" with the fake female journalist story. They showed him what the system is capable of with that one. Who knows, perhaps they have more on him, that is why he had to toe the line.
