Lib Dems gather in London today. There’s nothing significant in this, according to the official line - just a frank exchange of views between MPs, peers and councillors (no mention of AMs) about life in government. Ho hum.
Yet Richard Kemp, who leads Liberal Democrats at the Local Government Association, might have a different view. He is already on record as flagging up concerns that the coalition deal is damaging the party’s grassroots electoral prospects. And he’s not alone in questioning whether backing an unpopular series of tory-driven policies in exchange for electoral reform is actually a good deal.
As Kemp is likely to repeat to his colleagues, ".. in Parliament you can be sanguine and say things will be difficult for two or three years, the party faces elections next May and those will be difficult elections for us, no doubt about it."
No doubt Kirsty will be saying the same thing – if she’s been invited, that is.
