The Mouse that Roared

Surely, surely, CF is not alone in being heartily sick and tired of seeing - everywhere he fucking well looks - the clegg face of Nick Smugg?

With only a few days left in the General Election campaign, and with the Great British Public still undecided as to whether to fart or wind its watch, the media bombardment is unceasing. And, as a result, it's virtually impossible to escape the gurning visage of Britain's favourite Dutch-Russian wannabe Prime Minster, the Boy Clegg.

Following his success in the latest edition of the watched-by-less-people-than-Doctor-Who debates, the semi-finals of EleX-factor, Nick's rather full of himself.

The phrase 'King-maker' has apparently gone to his head, and we're treated to daily pronoucements of how it's gonna be, how parliament will work, under the benevolent rule of Lord Clegg. Which feels rather like the mouse in CF's kitchen telling him where he should leave the cheese tonight.

But - as ever - leave it to the writers of the Daily Mash to sum up the Lib Dem's attitude and approach, far better than CF ever could:


"Meanwhile Lib Dem sensation Nick Clegg has insisted it would be 'preposterous' if the next prime minster came from the party which comes third but has the largest number seats, stressing it should obviously be the party which comes second and has the smallest number of seats."


Well, yeah.

Clegg is the golden goose as far as the media are concerned, he has brought an interest story into the election that was heading to be dull and uninteresting to the vast majority.

What he brings is suspense will he will he not push Labour into third place. He is the underdog who the British always root for. Also the rags to riches metaphorically speaking can be flogged for all its worth.

So of course he will be the medias star turn he sells bums on seats so they will milk it for all it is worth. Negative or positive coverage it does not matter the limelight does.

Ha. You're a green-eyed monster. Do you know, you go on and on and Ariston about being 'no Tory' and a 'floating voter' but when absolutely anything at all even sniffs of being a threat to the Tories, out you come spitting tacks. Post something vitriolic about them, and I might take you seriously again. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's just a case of CF protesting far too much!

I used to think that it would be a good thing if the Liberals would sod off and let the two parties get on with things without splitting the vote.

However, I now think it would be a good thing if the Labour party would sod off and let the other two parties get on with things without splitting the vote.

Funny old world isn't it? I'd vote LibDem if I thought it would change our crap vorintg system. Trouble is, it's the only policy they have that I actually agree with, so tough shit, Cleggy...

@Jill

I think Cameron is a shiny PR weasel, as well you know.

However...

If you can point me in the direction of another party that can push Labour off their perch and into oblivion, and another individual who can take the reins from Gordo's hands then, hey, who know's what I might do?

Know's? What the fuck?
