DO YOU REALLY WANT TO VOTE LIB DEM?

When out trudging the streets of Walsall South delivering my election leaflets, I came across a chap who told me he was fed up with Labour and the Tories and intended to vote Liberal Democrat - my heart sank.

I once briefly met the Lib Dem leader, Nick Clegg, back in the days when he was an MEP. It was at a debate about membership of the EU's euro or keeping our own currency - naturally Clegg, being the rabid Euro fanatic that he is, was speaking against our own currency, the pound sterling.

I had to explain to this chap just how Europhile Captain Clegg is, how he would sign us up to the euro faster than you could say Jean Monnet, how he would sell this country down the river and hand over what little sovereignty we have left. This chap, like many, is no lover of the EU or its euro and suddenly realised the error he was about to make and has now promised his vote for me. How many more are about to vote for Captain Clegg and his army of Lib Dim Euro fundamentalists just on the basis he is not Labour or Tory? They are going to be in for one hell of a shock when they realise the Lib Dims will give them everything they don't want.

For an earlier posting on reasons not to vote Liberal Democrat take a look here.

This is the Lib Dem's real position on the Euro:
