The liberal democrats can hardly be surprised at their leaders drop in popularity, many of them feel like they have been stabbed in the back. I doubt many voted Liberal Democrat to see what is now obviously Tory policy being foisted on the nation using the economic situation as an excuse. As it becomes more and more apparent that the poor and dispossessed are the group who will be expected to carry the greatest part of the burden, perhaps the liberal democrats will take time to think again, although by then most of the damage will already have been done. Come May next year the Scottish parliament may be a two party parliament, where will the liberal vote go? I doubt it will go to the Tories.
