The Lib Dems' Vince Cable has been stressing the "fundamental differences" between his party and Labour and the Conservatives. The 3rd biggest party has been facing lots of questions about who they would side with in the event of a hung parliament. Labour says they share "progressive" roots with the Lib Dems. Mr Cable is having none of it saying Labour has a "terrible record on civil liberties" and saying they differ on ID cards and the "surveillance state" and on Trident. newstevie32 writes: The reform our political system should have is not PR, where minority parties hold the whip hand and where sovereignty is further taken from the people as the parties stitch up the backroom deals to get them into power. All that PR gives you is a Government nobody elects. Rather we should figure out a way to separate the Legislature (Parliament) from The Executive (The Government) so that MPs can truly represent their constituencies and properly scrutinise the Government and hold it to account. As it stands MPs are simply Government fodder or Opposition automatons. Just look at the way this Government has steamrollered legislation through.
