Is Vince happy? You bet your life he’s not

Posted on

Did you see Vince Cable interviewed on television last night about his new appointment?

The deft, witty, always in command Vince looked like a man putting on a very brave act.

He stumbled for words. His posture was resigned.

Of course we now know he’d been appointed to be responsible for banking — to find George Osborne would not be letting him do the job.

If Vince was ever convinced of the merits of being a ConDem it was already clear he knew he’d been shafted.

He’s just the first to come to that realisation — and that there’s no way out for his party.

There will be a bloodbath soon. There is just no way most Lib Dems will pout up with this: they’ve been sold out by Clegg, Laws and the other free-market fundamentalists in their ranks.

I predict a split soon.

We got so close to PR. And now, maybe, two party politics might be restored. I do at least hope Vince has the courage to take his people back into a genuine third party.
