The LibDems attack...

[LeftishBrit]

The Liberal Democrats are getting more vocal in their attacks on the Conservatives. Treasury Minister Danny Alexander resorted to swear words to describe how he felt about George Osborne. Party president Tim Farron said the Tories were "borderline immoral" and Nick Clegg has launched a personal attack on Cameron.

...On the eve of the conference’s opening (Clegg) told activists to fight “tooth and nail” to prevent the Tories and Labour from “taking Britain backwards”.

He said that another Conservative government in power would see David Cameron “trapped between being a poor man's Margaret Thatcher and a rich man's Nigel Farage” as the PM attempts to accommodate Ukip supporters and Tory rebels.

Britain would be “diminished and divided after a botched attempt to renegotiate our relationship with Europe and a vote to withdraw from the European Union” while the Tory leadership would remain “in hock to their right wing, desperately running after and pandering to Ukip's ugly nationalism”.

Four and half years too late, Clegg - but at least the Weathercock may hopefully be giving an indication of where the wind is blowing.

1. But is anyone actually listening to what the Lib Dems have to say?

Lib Dems might not like to admit it, but it is possible to be too opportunistic, and to lose all your credibility as a result.
