Comments on: Why didn’t The Sun switch to the Lib Dems instead? http://www.maxtb.com/2009/09/30/sun-libdems/ Tell me something I don't know.

What frustrates me with the current way is that instead of collaborating and making the correct decisions they are arguing like contestants in a panel show with huge amounts to lose. It takes a very short amount of time watching BBC Parliament to realise that half the time the issue isn't what's under question but how they can put the other side down. I accept that is part of party politics but it strikes me as incredibly childish when they're meant to be devoting their time to thinking about the best way to rule the country. The Sun's front page spread about switching it's support does little more than to extend this division and I agree with you, it's about time that someone genuinely gave the Liberal Democrats an equal voice as, in times of struggle like the one we are seeing now all options should be considered.
