Nick Clegg - why believe a word he says? : Mon Sep 16, 2013 9:26 am

Speaking from the Lib Dem annual conference in Glasgow, he said political parties needed to be "up-front with the British people about those issues which we really will die in the trench for and those which clearly will depend on political and economic circumstance". But then ... He declined to say, more than 18 months ahead of the election, which policies would be his "red lines" in any coalition talks. So, he's going to be "up front" about what they are going to do ... but not actually tell us. Is that actually any better than what he did last time i.e. "pledging" and then doing a 180-degree-turn after the election? |
