But can Lib-Dems command the heights?
By trying to influence government policy, is Nick Clegg condemning his party to eternal meltdown or hoping that in some way the public at large will begin to embrace the Lib-Dem mantra of wishy-washy political expediency? Though more likely this Lib-Dem posturing is the obvious result of endless generations in isolated opposition.
Polls apart, the damage inflicted by going against mainstream public opinion is causing incalculable damage to UK Plc. So the flaky responses to enduring problems will come back to haunt them, as they face even more generations of eternal opposition, at the next asking.
You see the big problem here for the Lib-Dems is that in opposition you can say or do anything, since you are never going to answer for the result. So as the levers of power slip effortlessly from their illusory perception of the reality of Coalition, it becomes patently clear they are singing from the wrong hymn sheet.
Maybe Dave believes that in casting aspersions at Nick’s disapprobation of Tory realism, he is driving the dagger ever deeper into the heart of Liberal thinking. It could well be that in planting seeds of despair at Lib-Dem stalling of promised reforms, he is creating the impression of what the benefits would be if went his own way.
Can we really believe this tack after so many broken promises, though in some ways as the Europhiles go for more pernicious tax raising measures calculated to neuter the position of UK’s ‘City’ of London as the Clearing Bank for the World. The danger of closer ties with Brussels looks doomed, as the real power brokers take over and the ‘City’ takes over the world.
But hang on a mo, think on this! Does such a takeover depend on survival of Fractional Reserve Banking? The means by which, what we assume to be our Democratic Freedoms are stifled by the real Fat Controller. For it doesn’t have to be this way. We can follow the Yellow Brick Road as laid out for us by Frank L. Baum in the real Wizard of Oz, not I assert the Judy Garland version.
On the other hand maybe there is no such thing as Jam Tomorrow, as the Queen insisted. Jam yesterday or jam today, but never jam tomorrow for tomorrow never comes. It’s just any other day, it’s never today.
Watch this space, I’ll be back and lookout for (Part III)
Tom.
