isn't it more "oh no, yesterday's men, not the new politics".The whole tone of that article (from that well known one-of-us - Andrew Rawnsley - a long term very privileged oxbridge lib-dem) is Oh no old people -
It's amazing that even after watching the Lib Dems completely acquiesce to the Tories, Rawnsley and other Guardian columnists are still bleating about how all those who don't embrace the Liberals must be horrible out of date tribalists. And it's amazing that he of all people is complaining that the current system makes voters 'know their place' when lambasting those that might actually want to vote Labour rather than some sort of broad based coalition as being out of date dinosaurs. (I know the article focuses on senior Labour politicians but the there is an obvious implication that this includes all the 'tribal' voters which Liberals love to whinge about)
I mean Andrew fucking Rawnsley - is that what passes for radicalism today?
Why people like you should be taking their side on this is frankly bizarre.
well fuck of out of this thread then.For the last CUNTING FUCKING TIME, I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT WHO IS COCKING SUPPORTING WHICH ARSING FUCKING SIDE.

Just join the lib-dems and have done with it.
Notice you've not come out with an explanation for why you are taking the view of those trying to turn the clock back to a 2 party carve up.
No you prat, it's me parodying yours. ffs.
Guess what, anger at the coalition is driving the support for the no vote. Now, where's that leave your above argument?
Pardon me if I don't put voting with UKIP ahead of a chance to smack the coalition in the gob.
Voters have no interests. Classes do. And defeating this referendum could bring this nasty little government down. Which can only be a good thing for my side.Is an - admittedly deserved - smack in the gob for Clegg worth handing the Tories what they - apparently unanimously - want? Are the LDs really that important - that our attitude to their short term mistakes trumps what is in the interests of voters for the next few decades?
Some people here seem to think they are mightily important by the sounds of it...

Really!?
You should stop now before cementing your reputation as the most clueless poster here.
his interests are now bound up fully with those of the ruling class
I think a lot of people who were formerly in favour of some reform will also just vote no to 'punish' the Lib Dems.
what, for demolishing that laughable argument about voting 'yes' on the grounds of not wanting to be associated with the leaders of the 'No' campaign? gimme a break!Have you got noisy tourettes?
Amazing, you're now thinking of you and the lib-dems as one single group.
