He talks about Labour losing heartland seats to the Lib Dems whilst conveniently ignoring an embarassing fourth place finish in Glasgow East. Sure, the SNP were best placed to win the seat from Labour, but that does not explain why the Lib Dems were beaten into fourth place by the Tories.Stuart Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166876018910755988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983805140748093260.post-21657627931490461012008-07-30T07:46:00.000+01:002008-07-30T07:46:00.000+01:00Writing as a Tory, Mr Cable is one of the few MP's...Writing as a Tory, Mr Cable is one of the few MP's outside the Conservative Party who is to be taken seriously.

With Labour and its' core electorate estranged and the chattering classes deserting the Socialists in hordes, the LibDems have a realistic chance of becoming the natural party of Opposition. I would suggest that the three-card trick is to convince Labour's middle-class deserters that politics is not a consumer-choice activity and requires commitment, reach out to Labours' disenfranchised natural electorate, and avoid alienating your own core electorate. Once you have established yourself in Parliament, you can build to aspire to Government. Even though I'm a Tory, I wish you good luck (except in Tory-held seats) in the forthcoming GE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
