I'm thinking of starting a Vacillation, Ignorance and Total Capitulation Party.
The Manifesto will be comprised of iron-clad, red-line, unshakeable promises (for broader appeal and to save time these won't be written down and will be invented on the doorstep for whatever the voter fancies at the time).
These will, of course, be gaily jettisoned after the election in favour of meaningless ministerial titles all round.
Vince Cable will be the first to join.
Although he is capable of changing his mind three times in the same sentence, it's been a while since he actually changed parties, so it's due.
That's the Vacillation bit sorted.
Cleggster will handle the Total Capitulation brief and the other two or three members can be responsible for Ignorance, appearances on Question Time and claiming expenses.
STOP PRESS
Vince has changed his mind, he won't be joining.
Oh, hang on, ...

If we dig Cyril up he can be the Minister for child welfare.
Experience is key in such matters.
