Were the LibDems right to sacrifice principles for power?
I would have thought that the whole point of a Coalition Government was to show a united front. On the issue of AV the Tories and LibDems went their separate ways. There was no Coalition.
It is being said that the LibDems had no choice but to form a Coalition with the Tories. However, surely there was a choice not to sacrifice principles for a taste of power?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
It was a difficult choice. Maybe they thought they could change some of the decisions by forming the Coalition.
