The Liberal Democrats

Has anyone noticed how the Liberal Democrats only ever talk about how they are going to win the next election?

This seems strange to me, as they are the only major party that stands no chance of winning the next general election.

Ming has marked the first anniversary of his becoming leader of the Liberal Democrats by defending his record thus far which, to be honest, indicates a pretty inauspicious reign. But, to anyone who remembers his acceptance speech, it will sound especially tired.

Ming swept to victory last year in an election in which one of the candidates suffered aligations about his private life, one was completely unheard-of and the majority of votes were returned before any of the speeches had been given anyway.

In his acceptance speech, Ming then proceded to tell us how the Liberal Democrats needed policies fit for government (in an eerie echo from his parties history). Since then, the only thing that we ever hear from him is how labour is failing, the Tories are and ideas vacuum and how he is not just a safe pair of hands (although how he manages to square this with the fact that, by his own admission, he has spent the last year "steadying the ship" is anyone's guess).

"Judge not, lest ye be judged" says the bible, apparently, and the Lib Dem mud-slinging is fooling no-one and making them look silly. They would be far better off unveiling policies.
