Vote Clegg, Get Harris

Fr Ray Blake writes:

I am anxious about the ideology of Nick Clegg's atheism, we know about his opposition to "faith" schools, though I am told his children attend them, his Spanish wife is at least a social Catholic. The problem is if vote Clegg you get Harris.

Dr Evan Harris, nicknamed Dr Death, will be well worth having a look at if you are a mainstream Catholic tempted to even think about voting Liberal Democrat. How well does a party that can accommodate Harris and his ilk sit with the Catholic vote?

The Lib Dems also need to be hit hard on Trident, specifically on the fact that they do not want to scrap it at all. The Lib Dems also need to be hit hard on their proposed amnesty for illegal immigrants.

The Lib Dems also need to be hit hard on their plan for softer sentencing, when in fact their admirable general support for civil liberties would, if implemented and if accompanied by a return to proper policing based on foot patrols, make possible a return to proper sentencing and to proper regimes in prison, since we could once again have confidence in the justice of convictions.

The Lib Dems also need to be hit hard on their intention to give the vote to prisoners. The Lib Dems also need to be hit hard on their desire to join the euro. The Lib Dems also need to be hit hard on fact that they have supported the war in Afghanistan from the very start. And the Lib Dems also need to be hit hard on their support for drugs, for child sex, and for child porn.
