Attack dogs go wild on Clegg

Well it had to happen and it has. The Tories have opened up on Nick Clegg and this has been very evident in the Tory-leaning press.

The tsunami effect in the polls post-April 15 has been amazing as Cameron's path has become becalmed and he has had to make adjustments to his tv messages. Obviously the Tories were not expecting the poll bounce for the Lib Dems over the last 5 days. Their paramount belief that were headed for victory on May 6 has been hit amidships. The party is leaking somewhat as they try to understand what the voters are doing.

Some say its the Xfactor at work and personality politics. Well, bring it on.
For the past 5 years we've had a rotten parliament and now its the voters who will make the changes and who will decide who sits there from May 6. The voters are the ones who decide who will govern Britain and the two old parties are finding an electorate that is angry and decidedly volatile. Well may they be after the expenses scandal and the way so many politicians have feathered their own nests, without any regard for the voters, young and old.

A plague on both your houses.

So now the scrutiny begins and the slogans, the jargon, the platitudes are all wasted. So much about a Big Society, a New Society - what does it all mean for me and you? The platitudes thrown out by the leaders, Secure the Recovery, help for homecare, the whole bloody lot have no impact on voters other than turn them off.

It's time for the voters to stand up, look at the parties and do their bit. Make the changes needed, have a balanced parliament that reflects the country's mind.

I say, bring on a 'hung parliament' and let them speak and consult with each other. Labour and Tories have NO RIGHT to be the major party from whom will come the next PM. Why should they?

Clegg needs to get up, be the same man, confident and convicted this Thursday on SKY. Brown and Cameron will go after him and his party and seek to make him a one-week wonder, a flash in the pan. The trouble for them is, the flash in the pan has exploded the myth of the other two. The nation wants changes, but not with the labour or tories - they are part of the old era and they are pushing up hill as they seek to chase Clegg.

It's become a three horse race and no one knows who will pass the winning post first.
