Lord Tebbit: Always a man to speak clarity in times of chaos

Lord Tebbit, one of the last bastions of conservatives with a small 'c' has come out today with a brilliant, stinging attack on Clegg. Although he endorses Cameron (not surprising seen as Tebbit is sadly still in the Tory party) he does make the excellent point that this Lib-Dem surge has been created soley out of Clegg's performance in the debates and not due to an overwhelming support of Liberal Democrat policies.

Does the 30-33% of the electorate actually know what policies they are about to vote for? Probably not, which makes this election all the more unpredictable especially when whoever wins must take into account the sheer economic deficit that faces us all. Would I want Clegg to be the man to sort it out? Good god no! But would I want Brown and Cameron either? Again, absolutely not. And I think that speaks for the majority of the British electorate, no-one can see a real viable and popular alternative in the three failed old parties.

Indeed when you look at the individual party positions in the polls, for each of the failed three some 70% are not planning to vote for them. Despite the fact the Lib-Dems are currently on 31% it still means 69% are against them.

Read Lord Tebbit's post, it's an insight and an enjoyable read.
