This is the problem, I think Cameron is correct there is very little difference between Camerons Tory party and the Lib/Dems. They are both wet.
What we need is a Thatcher type very strong government that I fear Cameron will not give us. He will be a Heath type figure that like Labour does not take the firm action needed.
Trouble for you Tom is that he will attract more voters taking this stance.
Wetter Chameleon is the bigger the UKIP (4%) and BNP (2% but soft on actually voting) shares will be.
And if he announces Wee Georgie’s harder line he’ll lose still more to Labour & the Lib-Dems.
Quite true Tom, that there are few relevant differences between Chameleon and Clegg,
As Labour continues to climb the polls, stiltedly, as we show differences of emphasis which make hardly a jot of difference in practice, Clegg will have to show us all his trimming skills still further.
Huhne is watching . . . and at risk at Eastleigh where Ashcroft will have been spending money you betcha!
Its strange, when Blair won the Lid/Dems end up to the left of Labour, The way things are shaping up if Cameron wins the Lib/Dems will end up to the right of Camerons Conservatives if Clegg has his way.
The Lib/Dems are just blowing in the wind like tumble weed.
We shall see what is in the various parties’ manifestos fairly soon.
It will be interesting to see if the parties which promise any kind of referendum on Europe gain a majority of the votes.
I wonder if any two of any which do will offer similar referendums?
The Lib-Dem policy of a referendum on “In or Out” recalls the SNP wish for a similar one for Scotland & the UK. Pretty irrelevant. Status Quo rules ok.
It is far more likely that the electoral system, and the House of Lords will be a major focus for such debates.

It’s becoming harder to see any significant difference between any of the three largest parties.
There’s plenty within each party for the average person to vote against, but very little to vote for.

Campaign left. Govern right.
Something else DC has learnt on these privileged playing-fields of Eton.

Of course the LibDems are different.. They promise Referendums on Europe and don’t carry out their promise.
The Conservatives don’t.
Err hang on a minute…
