Perhaps it’s time for the Liberals to take a step back and reassess!

Posted 23 Jun 2011 by Walaa Idris

It is just me or does the Liberal Democrats have a knack for picking the exact opposite of what everybody else in the country wants!?

Take the Alternative Vote (AV) Referendum. They put all their might behind reforming the voting system and got trashed for it. Logic dictates that they will look at what happened there and learn from it before embarking on any more reforms. As there were many lessons to be learnt from AV. Its outcome was a clear reflection of the publics’ mood and appetite for change. It was also very clear that in the current economic climate, our nation did not want any distraction form the essentials and the job at hand, nor do they want their tax money spent on anything other than those essentials.

Therefore, to pursue with renewed vigour Lords Reform and now Green Targets is simply political suicide!

And it reminds me of Lottery winners who after winning millions years later end up on benefit because they did not know how to manage what could have been a life changing gift. Yes history will remember both, but for all the wrong reasons.

Tenacity is good because it gives us purpose and focuses our minds, however, only a fool will persist when the outcome is knowingly adverse!
