Tories Slowly Strangle LibDems To Death.


Having sold out every principle he once had Nick Clegg now has to face the propspect of virtual extinction at the next election while his Tory partners gleefully stab him in the back. Unrecognisable as the party it once was after being dragged sharply to the right by Nick Clegg and having lost the AV argument, the boundary changes and reduction in the number of MP's proposed by the Tories will reduce them to a meer cypher. If they support the government on the legislation they will literally be the first political party in history to sign their own death warrant with, it has been estimated, just 11 MP's. Meanwhile his party, alarmed by their impending demise, are calling for an "overt and public" dialogue with Labour and the other parties on the democratic left. We asked a prominent LibDem for his view; "We have to save democracy from the Tories after we've spent the last two years helping them to destroy it. Never mind the economy, the NHS, education and welfare, this is far more important since it concerns my future employment prospects. If we act quickly we can persuade the moronic electorate in this country to save us from our own utter stupidity and political ineptitude even after we've sold them down the river. As for the Tories - we expected them to lie to the electorate and slip through legislation that will divert money into their mate's pockets, but we're shocked at how they've betrayed us after they promised to be nice if we helped them to give working people of this country a good kicking."

  2. It never ceases to amaze the editor of "The News In Shorts" how many zebras celebrate the law of the jungle. What many Tory supporters seem to miss is that the party regards them as little better than peasants - useful only in terms of votes and dispensible once the Tories have managed to smarm their way back into power. As far as they are concerned if you didn't go to Eton, Oxford or Cambridge you count for nothing. Even when they elect leaders such as Margaret Thatcher or John Major they can't resist politically assasinating them when the opportunity arises.
