(not satire – it’s the Lib Dems!)
QUESTION: What do you do if – after selling out every single one of your principles and breaking just about every pre-election promise you’ve ever made for a tiny taste of power and a ministerial chauffeur-driven car – you find yourself so unpopular with voters that you’re facing Armageddon at the polls?
ANSWER: If you’re the Lib Dems you blame the public.
In a remarkable article on the Conservative Home website, leading Lib Dem Stephen Tall writes that the Lib Dems have learned what he called a “harsh lesson”, namely:
“Never trust the public. They’re deeply unreliable.”
Well, Stephen, after reading your article, I suggest you’ve missed the real ‘harsh lesson’ that you and your party colleagues should have learnt.
Namely that lying, spineless, two-faced, double-dealing, hypocritical, duplicitous, patronising, so-called liberal politicians – who break all their promises to their own voters to enable the most right-wing Tory government in living memory while at the same time pretending they have nothing to do with it – tend to get punished at the polls.
And if you and your other party colleagues are still a bit confused as to why you’re so unpopular with the public – here’s another reminder:

This is pretty much beyond parody.: it’s the Lib Dems pretty much saying what Bertolt Brecht put in the mouths of East German Communist party as satire. The citizens of the DDR had risen up in the 1950s against their Communist masters and demanded democracy. The Communists’ response was to send the tanks in. Later on, Brecht, the great satirist of the Weimar republic remarked that the Politburo had decided to dissolve the East German people and elect another one. The Lib Dems have exactly the same mentality: they’re not duplicitous and treacherous, the British public is. Oh yes, and then there’s David Pearce’s comment about the Lib Dems’ writing on a Tory website being a tacit admission that they’re Tories after all. Too right.

I’ve got a good memory and have never, ever known a government like this. Yes Labour have gone more right wing than they themselves can’t see, but they have never, ever been like this lot we have now! You can ask anyone of an older age and they will tell you exactly the same. This unelected coalition are nothing but thieves and murderers and should all be at the Hague for crimes against humanity. I’d prefer that they were all stood against a wall and shot though.
Having said that, I also blame the people of this country for not doing anything except sit on their erses and let everything that has happened go ahead.
If we get another Tory or Tory led government back in again in May, then this country, and the people in it, are well and truly fooked, and if it happens then we deserve all we get!

The Lib Dems are at the edge of an electoral black hole with perhaps as low as 6% of the vote in England and just 4% in Wales and Scotland. At that rate if they go much lower, most of their 55 seats will just evaporate from under them.
