Conservative Party MPs were in shock tonight after the Liberal Democrats surprised everyone by not going back on a pledge they had made and decided to actually honour it instead.
In a separate development, leading Tories were also said to be unhappy about the vote in the House of Lords to delay a constituency boundary review that had been likely to gift the Tories 20 extra seats.
A clearly shocked Conservative spokesperson explained the reason for the party’s dismay at their coalition partner’s actions:
Obviously we knew that Nick Clegg had pledged to vote against boundary reform as a punishment for us not going through with Lord’s reform – but this is the Liberal Democrats we’re talking about for f**k’s sake! We never actually expected them to keep their promise!
The spokesperson also went to say they were also a bit upset by the Liberal Democrat’s decision to delay the boundary reviews too.

From The Guardian’s article:
“Lord Forsyth, the former Tory cabinet minister, was even more strident, saying: “What we are seeing today is that the deputy prime minister is going from cross to double cross, because that is what this is – it is a double cross”. He said Lib Dems were seeking “to gerrymander the British constitution for party political purposes”.”

I challenge even you , Tom Pride, to make satire of this twaddle!

The novelist Lords Dobbs was one of many of Tories to lay into their coalition partner, accusing Clegg of “a great political sulk”, after the Liberal Democrats withdrew support in retribution for the failure to complete a deal to reform the House of Lords last year. Dobbs said that Liberal Democrats should hang their heads in shame at bringing politics into disrepute.
