So in advance of the budget we've had the announcement of regional pay for public service workers, a reduction in the top rate of income tax, and the privatisation of the roads, right-wing ideological goals that previous non-coalition tory govts either didn't want to or couldn't implement. Now that the Welfare Reform Bill and the Health Bill have been passed, are Cameron and Osborne signalling that they regard the Lib-Dems as having exceeded their usefulness, that the Lib-Dems can stay in the 'coalition' if they choose, but that the tories are going to proceed with their right-wing agenda no matter what NC says?
Maybe now Mr Clegg finally comprehends the yawning chasm that is opening underneath him...
