   I wish all the Labour voters would transfer their allegiance to the LibDems.   
   At least their spokesman objected to the firing of Dr Nutt, unlike the Tory   
   windbag.

   Things will not be better under the Tories. We can only hope that Labour   
   rediscovers its core values while it is deservedly out in the wilderness. If   
   not, then it really matters little whether you vote Labour or Tory because   
   you'll get the same government.

   I'm not at all sure that leftwing is synonymous with truthful or honest or   
   having due respect for the rights of others.
