My sister and I were discussing the election and she showed me a strange piece of election literature. It was odd because it said "Only the Liberals can keep the Tories out here". At home in the next district I had an almost identical leaflet except it said "Only the Liberals can keep Labour out here."

So you're thinking, "So what? What's new about two faced political parties?" What's odd is that they're not the Liberals, yes I call them that because I'm lazy, recalcitrant, and obstinate, but really they're the Liberal-Democrats, and the official abbreviation is Lib-Dems. Stangely the Liberal half of the party has a way of getting it's name up first.

When they had their pact with the Labour party it was called the Lib-Lab pact, now the new administration is called the Lib-Con coalition. Notice how the 'Lib' always comes first even though in all three cases they were the smaller party?

It's a clever trick, but I think the Dems should get a look in somewhere. How about the Lib-Con-Dem coalition? Say it quickly and it just about sums up the situation...
