Every time I see him, I can't shake the feeling that he was blinded by the bright light of Power in 2010... He seems a decent bloke but he seems to struggle against the real Political heavyweights..

Clegg and Alexander have done a decent job of controlling the worst aspects of the Tory's.
Seems a shame their talents will probably be lost to the UK.

Most likely none of the seven will be getting my X... Hoping for a decent independent to be on offer... Quite likely the next time I'll be voting will be for London's mayor... My hope for that post guesting on This Week last night...

The chosen few certainly did

I'll let you off with that one then.
If you want a serious answer then the situation you described would not happen the UK. And if you were elsewhere and this was your only choice then a no vote is a good protest. But in the UK I feel there is a choice for everyone, be you a bigot, racist, tree hugger, yoghurt knitter, bedwetter, leek eater, kilt wearer, communist or considerably richer than yow.

Not for me... For me to vote, for any that are currently on offer, would require me to make way to big a compromise on my part for the aspirations for my country...

From my view the Tory's have done a good job irrespective of being held back by the Lib/Dems.

Half the Conservative MP's voted against it and a great number of constituency managers warned that it was dividing membership. If you cant understand who it may affect in a negative way then look no further than your beloved Multiculturalism, all Muslims, Jews and Roman Catholics are against it for a start. Thats quite a lot of people but also add a great deal of Mid-Englanders to that.

What is a mid Englander ? And great deal - again is that in a poll somewhere or they have been asked
So half the MP 's - that's a couple hundred - so not large really considering and again it's all guess work isn't based on your own views.

Without sending this thread further off-topic than it already is (it seems to have taken over from the 'Election 2015' one rather than what the Title is!).....
And with all those groups 'against' it, surveys still indicated that the majority of the UK Electorate were in favour of it! I would also expect that a high number of Conservatives to vote against the Bill, as they are by inclination...conservative! It wasn't half though, but was more than voted for it!
Seems you are happy (keen even) to discuss the subject all the same! Does that mean you have a particular view (different to what Parliament's one was)? Or are you merely highlighting the nature of the Westminister system when an issue that is not part of the Government's Manifesto arises?

It would appear that Sturgeon actually backs a Tory government in private while she scrambles about claiming she wants to work with Labour (after saying she won't) to 'lock the Torys out'.
The memorandum which was written by a senior British civil servant, dated March 6th, states: "Just had a telephone conversation with Pierre-Alain Coffinier (PAC), the French CG [consul-general]. He was keen to fill me in on some of the conversations his Ambassador had during her visit to Scotland last week. All of this was given on a confidential basis."
It continues: "The Ambassador....had a truncated meeting with the FM [Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister] (FM running late after a busy Thursday…). Discussion appears to have focused mainly on the political situation, with the FM stating that she wouldn’t want a formal coalition with Labour; that the SNP would almost certainly have a large number of seats... that she’d rather see David Cameron remain as PM (and didn’t see Ed Miliband as PM material)."
Aye, only the SNP have Scotland's best interests at heart! Since when did the majority of Scots think Cameron was good for us?
What a tangled web we weave............

Aye, that one is up there with the bombing Scottish airports and forcing Scots to drive on the left stuff.
Amazing what some folk actually believe.
Please read the facts and not what was planted by the 'Ministry of Disinformation'.
