I doubt they will be electable for another hundred years after this.
Yup.
In terms of the theatre of politics (Punch and Judy meets Spitting Image), most Brits believe that the Tories are the "nasty party". No amount of spin and Dave&SamCam (ordinary bloke with nice wife eating cornflakes with happy family) will counter the sneering visage of Baron Osborne the Shock Therapist.
Meanwhile, most Brits thought that the LibDems were principled and irrelevant. By joining the government, the LibDems have finally become relevant.
And lo and behold, they''re revealed as being as deceitful, two-faced and unprincipled as the usual incumbents.
Moral hypocrisy and blatant lying are not fatal to Tory or New Labour governments. People shrug their shoulders in weary cynicism.
I suspect that the lies and hypocrisy of Clegg and co will be fatal and destroy the LibDem vote.
"I agree with Nick" will become as risible a political chant as "Change you can believe in".
