Mr Brown is not the prime-minister I thought he would be – I think he is going to be better than I expected. I liked Hazel Blears speach today. So many Liberal ideas it would be good if she turned them into reality – especially power to local communities!

It is now time to hit the Tories while they are still clueless about how to make this country fit for the 21st century. The LibDems may not form the government if there is an elction next month, but at least the people of this country can show how much they prefer Liberal ideas. Even if Labour keep stealing LibDem ideas at least the country will become fairer with greater opportunites for all from the youngster embarking on their first job to the captains of industry. I still do not know if David Cameron’s Tories are for state-control or free enterprise, better or worse public services or for environmental rape or protection of the environment.

Let us not have months of tedious media speculation about an election. It only diverts ordinary people from the important issues. Let us have an election now and then get on with the job of improving this country.
