That's not the same as saying it ought to be forgotten - but, rather, any recollection of it ought to be proportionate. <br /><br />Of course both Labour and anti-coalition Tories have a vested interest in keeping the subject alive and on the boil. From their point of view it's easy to see why they're doing it. But do the Tories REALLY think that they're capable of winning the next election single-handedly? - Dream on!<br /><br />Clegg's apology yesterday was a gamble and one which I can understand as attempting to lance the boil. As at this morning it seems it might well have aggravated matters and played into his enemy's hands. But I think that on balance it was a chance worth taking.<br /><br />Come the next General Election, whether Clegg himself eventually recovers or not won't influence me in my vote one iota. For many years I've swung between Lib Dems and Green and, if I do vote for the latter, Clegg's fate by that time (though I personally hope he will recover) won't have made any difference at all.<br /><br />So let's just call it a day - PLEASE!Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.com
