We're all used to the hypocrisy of the LibDems, but even this takes the biscuit; just as they are claiming to be a joined-up party! As part of an interview with the BBC (more here) Nick Clegg came out with this line: Asked who he might support in the event of a hung Parliament, Mr Clegg said it was "arrogant" to second guess voters. Apparently it is, according to Mr Clegg, arrogant to assume ...

What a week for the LibDems. The conference began, as always, with the sound newspapers being arranged across sleeping faces as the mass snore-in started. A few hopeful souls wondered if the LibDems might finally tell us exactly what their party is for. And LibDems went about their usual business of behaving like some cuddly cult for Terribly Nice People. Then everything changed. Out came their tr...

I don't normally do polls because they are usually depressing for the LibDems but....whooooo-hoooooooooooooo! I think I can make an exception here. This particular ICM poll is obviously extremely reliable. Those numbers are for Westminster. The Europe poll numbers are interesting with the LibDems on 20 and UKIP on 10 - quite different from yesterday's Populus poll.

I really, really hope that Nick Clegg, leader of the UK Liberal Democrats, does not hold the balance of power at the next General Election, if this Spectator article, "Can Nick Clegg Sing the Blues?", is a guide (the article is behind the Speccie's subscription firewall). Mr Clegg, the article says, is trying to reach out to supposed Conservative voters by arguing for tax cuts. But as is clea...

Support for Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats has fallen significantly in a poll which puts the Conservatives in sight of victory in Thursday's general election.

Nick Clegg is certainly the man of the moment in Westminster. All those journalists and politicians snubbing their noses up at the Libdems won't do so lightly again for sure. But how exactly did Clegg do so well? It certainly wasn't down to policy issues.

I blogged a few days ago that the stupidest thing about robo-calls is that they irritate people. The LibDems - like other parties before them - won't have won a single vote this way. Now this has happeneds and the Information Commission has pretty much humiliated Nick Clegg, Lord Rennard and all those LibDems who said this wasn't a problem. After the collapse of their conference bounce, ...

You almost feel sorry for Nick Clegg this week, with the tuition fees vote in prospect. Being hated is difficult for LibDems because they didn’t expect it. Not so with the Tories. As a conservative, you usually realise early on that you're going to be a small fish swimming against the current of fashionable received wisdom – and that will involve various tribulations. Like having ...

Remember THIS? Sky is reporting that Nick Clegg and the LibDems have been found guilty of breaking privacy rules by phoning people without their invitation on the evening of Clegg's speech at their party conference. It's not as if they weren't warned.

Polling fanatics Anthony Wells and Mike Smithson have picked up on a poll out tomorrow which puts Conservatives: 52%, Labour: 24% and Libdems: 12%. While Labour’s numbers have remained the same, suggesting their falling support has bottomed out, Libdems have seen their numbers fall by 5%. It may be a outlier poll, and it could be
