Party leaderships are always positive, whatever the reality might look like. It is in the job description, got to raise moral (or at least try to).

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

one of the Big points of outrage at the moment is the closure of the Leeds hospital child heart surgery centre, Every single MP from the county has smelled the way the wind is blowing, and has signed a letter condemning this cost cutting measure. Every single one apart from one that is, Step Forward Nick Clegg.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

"Party leaderships are always positive, "

Not this time methinks! No one likes/forgives a Judas.

I mean party leaderships have to sound positive and upbeat about the chances for the party. The contrast against reality can be brutal and the positivity look absurd, but that does not change the job description.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

A swedish kind of death:

The contrast against reality can be brutal and the positivity look absurd

risibly so...

which leads to them staying in the bubble even more, making them ever further out of touch with reality on the ground.

clegg is supping with way too short a spoon.
