Why No Sensible Person Would Vote Lib Dem
The political headlines this morning are about Nick Clegg saying he will raise taxes to cut the deficit.
This may well be what will have to happen but because I’m on a pension, it probably wouldn’t effect me very much.
So has Nick Clegg consigned his party to oblivion, as surely no sensible person in the squeezed middle will vote for someone, who pledges to squeeze them even more? After all commentators say that Ed Miliband’s poor showing in the polls is because many voters don’t trust him with the economy.
But on a wider note, surely for Nick Clegg to say it so forcibly, because of its negative effect, is not the thing to do.
Nick Clegg has had his five minutes of fame, and perhaps now is the time to let someone else have a go at the most forgettable job in British politics!
The Anonymous Widower 
I know lots of people who accept that taxes need to be higher for a while in order to get the country out of the mess that Labour got us into. It wouldn’t put me off voting LibDem. My fear is that Labour will get in and cause more damage. I have been looking at the post-conference policies of 4 parties and comparing – Con, Lab, LD and UKIP, and Labour policies are almost non-policies in many cases, or old stuff rehashed. UKIP, no longer a single issue party by any means, have some sensible attractive policies – apart from coming out of EU, which is why I wouldn’t vote for them.
