Topic History of: My advice to Clegg and the Lib Dems
Max. showing the last 5 posts - (Last post first)

In The Know (as always)	Resoundingly good advice, JK Although their numbers are small quite a significant number of them are national known, and have a strong support locally. The Lib Dem vote will hold-up well (and Nick will be Deputy PM yet again - as I said several months ago !). History will look kindly on the Lib Dems ... their principled stance has helped "save" Britain (and temper the Tories)
JK2006	I know it may seem obvious but what benefit does millions of votes in a General Election give you? Nothing unless they are in a few seats - in which case it means you'll win them all. Concentrate, focus. That's my advice to Cleggy.
hedda	thankfully I don't need to vote in a Uk election against as I find each and every party and the majority of MPs to be plonkers (Denis Skinner excluded) The first past the post system is very destructive in a country with 2 established parties. Inevitably someone can win on a minority vote- as Thatcher did for good or bad each time. The preferential vote is far superior. and stuff the Lib Dems, stuff Labour (ITK having stiff drink now) Stuff the Tories and honestly, UKIP? give me a break.
JK2006	If I was them (and, as previously explained, I will never be voting again, as democracy doesn't work) I would concentrate almost all my efforts, budget and time on the existing LIb Dem seats plus - say - the twenty or thirty other most winnable seats. Virtually doing nothing on the vast majority. Bussing helpers into those key marginals. If the Lib Dems end up with as many - or more - seats as they have at present, they will almost certainly be, again, a junior partner in a coalition.
