Oh, what the fuck? posted by Richard Seymour

Nick Clegg talking about a coalition with the Tories? Are you fucking serious? I see on Sky News that this is the result the bankers wanted, and that share values have gone up, but it's definitely not the result that most Lib Dem voters wanted. It just goes to show that anyone who believed that the Liberals were a progressive alternative was being sold a pup. The Liberals are run by the most right-wing faction, the Orange Book crowd, and an alliance with Thatcherites is entirely natural for them. So much for all their blustering over the bankers. So much for the Liberals taking Labour's place as the Tories' "progressive" opponent. So much for the progressive alliance for the 21st Century. Seriously, dude, fuck the Liberals.
