To not understamd what is so great about Vince Cable

[theduchessstill]

People raved about him during the coalition. Why? Messed up over Murdoch and always comes across as pompous and arrogant.

Now he says no prospect of a deal with Labour, thus potentially saving the Tories and consigning us to more years of their mean and disastrous rule. Again. Why? Was rude on C4 news last night as well.

One of the most over-rated politicians ever imo.

Wait - what? There's something great about Vince Cable? I have honestly never heard a single person suggest or say such a thing
He's a bad tempered impatient unappealing irascible old dinosaur!

Well, what happened with the last coalition? The LibDems have quite rightly said they won't be in a coalition with anyone - that doesn't favour the Conservatives. If they were in a coalition with Labour they wouldn't have enough seats together to form a government.

Have never heard anything good about him. But if libdems believe he represents their membership ...

He's awful and a hypocrite. He is very good at criticising policies when he is no longer in power. Why didn't he make voice his concerns last time he was in power? The same with Clegg, always making out like he disagreed with the Tories yet was very complicit in so many of their policies at the time.
