The Dave & Nick show has only been on the road a matter of days and I have been wondering how the rank and file membership of the Liberal Democrat and Conservative parties are taking to the new Tory Lib Dem love in - I have just had my first glimpse and it don't look too good.One prominent Conservative activist I have spoken to is not happy at all, this person did not work and spend years - and I mean years - in the Conservative Party just so Dave could give many prominent ministerial positions to members of another party who most Conservative activists are diametrically opposed to - resignation is being considered. If this person does resign because of this pact it will be quite a thing
I have also had news from another source that a long standing Conservative MP has written to David Cameron with several demands and has used certain forms of terminology that can only be described as Anglo Saxon.
Nick and Dave may be rabbiting on about having a fixed term until 2015, but if the rumbles coming from the lower ranks of the Liberal Democrat Party are similar to the first known grumblings from the Tory ranks we may be into another General Election sooner than we expect.

That's right, cheer us all up. Some people can see the cracks more than others. It's going to be an interesting 12 months.

Yes Derek, I have had more or less the same response as you. I was taking to an ex Tory member last evening and he was not a happy bunny with this marriage.
