As predicted on this Blog a few days after the general election Nick Clegg, a known right winger with Tory views, is taking his party to electoral disaster.

And not only are the voters disenchanted with the Liberals, in Sandwell the deputy leader of the Conservative Party on the council has switched to Labour, so opposed is she to the massive cuts to the shool building program in her area.
The swingeing cuts that are to be introduced are a recipe for disaster which almost certainly in the view of many economists are likely to push Britain into a double dip recession with the losses of millions of jobs in the public and the private sectors. Barack Obama in America however is taking the opposite line to correct his struggling economy by investing in $10 billions worth of public expenditure to stimulate the economy and create jobs.
Whilst Cleggy may not have been fooled by the Tories many Liberal voters are deserting the party as the Tories, as ever, with their hate of public services set about dismantling state benefits and expenditure. We have been here before, in the nineteen eighties, when Thatcher embarked on the same policies and caused misery and brought poverty to millions and when people took to the streets in protest. Clegg, at a stroke, has effectively turned the Liberal Democrats into a right of centre party and he is stuck with the consequences as no Liberal Democrat will have the balls to bring him down. They are effectively locked into their deadly embrace with the Tories for five years until the electorate make them a minor rump party for generations to come once again. Meanwhile there are terrible times ahead for most of us.
