SIR – Another election over, bringing more dark days for the Lib Dems punished by the voter.
“Why punish the Lib Dems?” one may ask. For a simple answer to that question, let’s take a trip back in time to May 11, 2010. Nick Clegg decided to give new life to the Tories.
In my view, it was likened to going out of one’s way to catch a strain of flu that had lain dormant for a hundred years. So who is paying for this moment of madness?
Yes, hard-working councillors like John Watmough who have given their heart and soul to their communities and have done all they can to make life better for those they were elected to serve.
Good, hard-working Lib Dem councillors paying the price for a bit of worthless power. When the Coalition ends, believe me it will be the Tories who come up smelling of roses; the Lib Dems will be left with nothing. Nick Clegg should have read the small print.
