These examples should serve to remind people that the Lib Dems are not left in any sense.Sam Coateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04263337659872579722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158970184752434940.post-23372203841085630932010-04-22T15:10:46.464+01:002010-04-22T15:10:46.464+01:00I agree completely that Clegg is trying to have it...I agree completely that Clegg is trying to have it both ways on a number of issues. Greens, like Plaid are open about the fact that we would scrap it and not try and get away with saying we would scrap Trident at the same time as labelling oneself as 'multilateralist', it's a loud of nonsense.<br /><br />Also, the allegations that he helped RBS lobby for weak regulation in Europe, combined with the party's dirty campaigning are a million miles away from his image of being clean and wanting to ban big money from politics.Sam Coateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04263337659872579722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158970184752434940.post-51206685753325011562010-04-18T01:31:44.947+01:002010-04-18T01:31:44.947+01:00Leanne, I cannot share your assertion that Plaid s...Leanne, I cannot share your assertion that Plaid should have a platfrom in the UK leaders' debates. They do not, and cannot, aspire to lead the next UK Government. What interest are the people of Scotland and England going to have in devolved Welsh affairs?<br /><br />As a party that is exclusively Wales-focused, it is both appropriate and proportionate that IWJ takes part in the BBC's Wales debate, but not be given a UK platform. It is that debate where issues pertinent to Wales can be raised.<br /><br />In any case, the minority parties are enjoying a much higher profile as an indirect consequence of these debates, Plaid and the SNP included.<br /><br />As least we can agree that Clegg outperformed the other two, although for differing reasons. As someone who has been out of touch and disillusioned with politics for a very long time, Clegg's performance has reinvigorated my interest considerably.Phil Libhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306558488287687584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158970184752434940.post-82542797322772169382010-04-16T23:56:27.365+01:002010-04-16T23:56:27.365+01:00Leanne,

Not only are the Lib Dems less than honest about their position on nuclear weapons, but their stance on trade unions is also of huge concern. If they want scrutiny, then they've got it.Ian Titheringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11648408300848231553noreply@blogger.com
