I knew not to vote for Labour the first term they got in. Having been a Labour supporter up to that point, I changed my allegiances to the Liberal Democrat party, but now I have no idea who to vote for.
Michael Howard, leader of the opposition, is famed for having advocated exactly this kind of policy when he was Home Secretary, so I suspect his opposition to this Bill is pure vote-grabbing.
As for the Liberal Democrats, the main criticism of them was always that they were wimpish and ineffectual. Now, I can't find a source to substantiate this claim, but I heard on the radio at the weekend that if something like 13 more Lib Dems had turned up for the vote they could have turned it around. That makes me so pig-sick I think I might vote for the Tory party.
