How to kill the Lib Dems stone dead


Its occurred to me that we should refuse any coalition or negotiation in the event of a hung parliament, and David Cameron should announce that policy now.

If asked to form a government we should present a budget and dare the other parties to vote it down. If they do then unless they form a coalition a new general election should be called.

Its time to stop Nick Clegg playing the field ( where did he develop that habit from ? ).

People need to be clear - vote Lib Dem get Gordon Brown as prime minister.

As soon as that happens the Lib Dem poll position will collapse.

PS The poster was uploaded onto by a Coffee house reader - can't find a name to credit, but well done.

Update: This is clearly the approach the Lib Dems fear the most as today we have Clegg trying to distance himself from the idea of supporting Brown as PM.

Major update: David Cameron is announcing this policy today. There will be no giving in to blackmail from the Lib Dems from a Conservative government ( not that the Lib Dems could ever have delivered given their mistrust of even their own leader with the Triple Lock Mechanism ).

I think Cameron has buggered it up,
always thought they picked the wrong man for the job,i can not imagine him doing anything sensible at this late date, hope i am wrong.

Its clear the leaders debate was a massive tactical mistake, but it doesn't mean there aren't lots of things Cameron has done which are right.

The danger is the X-Factor nature - where no one even thinks about the consequences of who they elect - and just assume they are watching another TV show.

The public don't like politicians and don't think politics has much to do with their everyday lives.

In 6 months they will know how much the Gordon Brown debt disaster is really going to impact them, but by then it will be too late.
