in what way?

The Lib Dem panellist is certainly trying to reinvent himself. 

Not mentioning at all that giving prisoners the vote was actually Lib Dem policy and in the Lib Dem manifesto.  Giving the impression that he's broadly opposed to prisoners having the vote must go down better with his new Tory masters.  Or it could be yet another instance where the Lib Dems have just happened to have changed their minds!

They've been brainwashed by those nasty tories didn't you know?

I apologise to isadora. Reading back mebbees I should have made reference to the TV prog. I was interested in the new Approaches demonstrated by various panelists!

I thought you had gone all introspective innit

I haven't been watching Question Time but knew what you meant from posts I've seen on another forum. I don't think I could ever watch anything with any Lib Dem reps ever again without having extremely violent thoughts, so declined.

But each party can't do all they would wish - because they alone do not hold power. It's a coalition.
It seems many people haven't grasped the difference yet.

Though TBF as the entertainment programme progressed, some of 'em reverted to type.

Can I add that I don't believe in the faux coalition concept?

Maybe prom but don't forget that they didn't win the election, so have to compromise!  Oh and if you don't like them chucking out almost all their manifesto and in many cases doing the opposite to what they promised voters, you just don't understand the new politics!

Neither do the Tories or the Lib Dems.

I'm agreeing with you mate The whole thing has been a farce from conception and it's far from over. This fiasco could well outdo the Thatcher years.

I think to make a big point about signing a pledge and then doing the diametrically opposed beggars belief, coalition or no coalition. I'm sick to the back teeth of the whining about not knowing the full extent of the fiasco that is our economy. Vince Cable was celebrated as the best economist the world has ever seen, but he didn't know the state of our finances? Give me a break.

Undoubtedly so, this lot will make Thatcher look like a misunderstood sweet old lady by the time they've finished wrecking this country.
