Where does this leave the Coalition?
Just been watching Clegg and Ashdown talking about the EU agreement. Words like "spectacularly misguided", "disaster", "depressing" were being bandied about.
How can they stay in a coalition with Cameron after this? The Liberal Democrats went into the Coalition with two aims:
1. To secure electoral reform
2. To stay at the heart of Europe
This morning they are further away from electoral reform than they were before the Coalition, and Britain's place in Europe has never been further away from the heart.
How can the Coalition continue? Cameron should call an election immediately. At least everybody will know where they stand. The Labour and Liberal Democrat alternatives can be put forward for scrutiny during the election campaign, and if they are correct, Joe Public will give his verdict.
