Deputy Prime Minister (and leader of the Liberal Democrat Party) Nick Clegg says in The Times today that British politics now offers the electorate two choices - "The real divide is between those who offer leadership and those who offer only dissent".
This is an attack upon the Labour party's lack of a coherent policy on the economy, an area where they trail behind the Conservatives (the Labour answer to every difficulty is "spend more money").
There should of course be three choices on offer: those who offer leadership, those who offer dissent, and those who are willing to implement the public will irrespective of the pain this might cause to vested interests (too often "leadership" in political terms is used as a euphemism for ignoring the electorate and implementing policies based on expediency and sectional interest).
