Lib/Dems come out for Cameron
I have had an email from Sajjad Karim MEP with details of a letter he and several other former Lib/Dems who now support the Conservatives have sent to the Guardian this week.
You can read their letter on the Guardian website here.
In Copeland, where the 17,000 jobs depend on the nuclear industry and therefore an anti-nuclear party like the Lib/Dems have no chance of coming better than a porr third place, the points which Saj and his colleagues make are particularly apposite.
Obviously Lib/Dems and tories will never agree on everything. But we do agree on some of the things which this government is doing wrong - for example, both parties would scrap ID cards and oppose the idea of locking up suspects without charge for 42days.
In constituencies like Copeland, where only the Conservatives can defeat Labour, the most effective way to vote against illiberal policies such as ID cards and 42-day detention without charge is to vote Conservative.
