HOW LONG CAN THE LIB DEMS REALY LAST??
Theres so much infighting going on both inside the lib dem camps and outside of it how long can they realy last?
across the country in the recent local elections the lib dems were wiped out in many areas, members calling on clegg for a big change direction.
lib dems across the country are becominh aware they are going into meltdown.
of course for clegg hes trying to make himself look like hes now different to cameron but thats all to late the damage has already been done.
theres going to be some very interesting results once the cobbled together govt falls apart.
For cameron, if he went to the country now he would win hands down, but for every day he sticks with the lib dem, his position becomes weaker and weaker and we head back towards no party control()co olitions)
or even dare i say it a labour govt.
clearly clegg has lost the faith of the people, he came in smarmy but pulled people with him, was that alternative voice that he kept on about, but sadly when it came to the crunch he put power before people.
And im sure hes enjoying his time, but the clock is ticking,

Keef it is true that Nick Clegg's approach to political life has changed since the drubbing at the recent local elections. He is now more assertive...his own followers have been calling for that. But Conservative backbenchers are now getting seriously disgruntled themselves complaining on R4 today that their voice is not being heard..whereas Clegg 's voice is getting ever louder. Too loud for a minnow.
The newspapers and media generally like the whiff of dissent so will cover Cleggs speeches especially if it hints of a split.
However Cameron might feel he doesnt need them Libdems any longer...this might happen sooner than expected. Cameron has had a series of good PR situations very recently, looking good in Ireland while shirtailing on the Queens visit, but still doing very well. His BBQ moments 'grilling' with the President were also very good. And previously his partnering with Sarkozy on Libya was also well received. So I'm sure when the next poll comes out you will see Cameron experiencing a 'bounce'.
Some of his ministers are not getting things right though, so hope for Labour there...Just look at the PR dead duck that cutting the wages of paratroopers has produced. Gone down like a toxic lead balloon everywhere that one.

yes paulb you are correct,
the lib dems in my opinion are dead ducks and can only hope cameron doesnt go to the country sooner rather than later.
yes the tory back benchers are getting disgruntled which will put pressure on cameron.
i think its all to late for cleggy no matter wot he does
his time is up
its all a matter of time
clock is still ticking(just)

I hope lab dont take the lib vote coming to them for granted , unless lab keep on improving , there could be more coalitions to come , Dc didnt get a majority as all he said was how terrible lab were in the election . The libs look dead now , but 4 years is a long time in politics .

doubt they have learned their lesson about negative campaigning, they were warned but took no heed leaving them grovelling to the yellows to get a few of their policies through.
they should have won by a mile last time.

I don't mind a coalition government it keeps the extreme policies at bay.
