Principles? Don't Abuse Ours!

Vince Cable, obviously discussing a possible coalition, says that the LibDems will talk about 'principles' not 'deals'.

It is a great pity that the LibDems, together with the Conservatives and Labour, did not remember 'principles' when considering the expenses saga, their agreement to be ruled from abroad without asking those they are supposed to represent, forgetting the meaning of democracy, ignoring the fact that they are supposed to be the servants of the people not their masters.

How dare Vincent Cable, or any other politician, suddenly remember 'principles' when 'principles' have been so noticable by their absence!
