Oh! Come On Vince

What is it with the atmosphere at Westminster? Is there some virus floating around that only attacks people with MP after their name? Or is there a tiny bug that seeps up through the floor of the Commons and, via a process of osmosis, enters the feet of all who tread therein? Vince Cable is reportedly thinking of abstaining on the tuition fee policy that he, himself, has developed. This is just daft. OK - so the party was pledged to do something different if it got into power and clearly had not thought through the consequences of power sharing (actually, I suspect had never really thought about being in power at all!) - a problem for the party in general. But for VC it should be clear - he must vote for what he is now proposing. I'm more and more tempted to rip up my membership card.
