Paddy Ashdown has laid into the Tories for their role in the lying NO2AV campaign:
"So far the coalition has been lubricrated [sic] by a large element of goodwill and trust. It is not any longer. The consequence is that when it comes to the bonhomie [sic] of the Downing Street rose garden, that has gone. It will never again be glad confident morning..."
Come on, Paddy, no one could be that naive! Why would the Tories do anything else than oppose even the most remotely progressive tinkering with the UK electoral system? And when have the Tories ever cared about the truth?
The fact is, the referendum was poisoned from the outset by the LibDems' willing abandonment of PR.
