Following my description of the Liberal Democrats as political harlots it was gratifying to read that David Blunkett had used the same expression.
One risk harlots run is the clap. In political terms the LDs might have their own version of this illness, a hemorrhaging of members to the Labour Party from whence many came. Mind you if Ed Balls becomes Labour Leader what will they do then?
The lure of power ensnared the LDs into a coalition with the Tories. Far better to have only offered support on the Queen's Speech and the budget. That was on offer, but they demanded more. Clegg & Co overplayed their hand and the electoral consequences will be grave.
