There is a lot of talk about resisting the severe cuts proposed by the current coalition government and this is the right thing to do. The timing of the reductions is wrong and it will led to the Creation of a longer lasting recession which will of course not affect Cameron or Clegg themselves but will hit everyone else.
I know of some Liberal Democrat activists who are very uncomfortable with the so called coalition and the decision particularly to raise vat which is of course a regressive tax. There is no doubt that these increases will affect those on much lower incomes. I had a huge argument last night with a friend who is a member of the Liberal party who was trying to defend Nick Clegg. Nick has betrayed the principles of the Liberal party and has sold them down the river (or recycled canal in his case). The Liberal party will no doubt pay for this betrayal at the next election. The Tories have been very good at using them and they are having a good laugh at their expense behind the scenes. Let 1000 Liberals bloom (if there are any left) and let there be a rebellion against this idiotic marriage between them and the Cons!
