If Hague is being misleading I would have though I would have thought someone would have contradicted him. Noone has so we can take it as truth until we hear otherwise.

I don't think that the lack of complaints from the Lib Dem camp should be taken as an endorsement of what Hague said. They are in negotiations, this is not a time where you go and quibble in public about what you may or may not have said behind closed doors.

Look if this was negotiation about anti-terror laws, ID cards, something that will seriously affect this country then yes it's fair for the Lib Dems to stand firm. The Tories have said on various issues they they have conceded ground as have the Lib Dems. However this is posturing to feather their own nest and has nothing to with the saftey, security or future of this country. This is to make sure that the Lib Dems get a larger share of the seats next time.

You make it sound like it's an unfair request. Let me say it once more. Nearly one in four people voted Lib Dems, yet they got less than 10% of the seats. How the hell do you justify that?
