Lib Dems go for political advantage over principle

After years and years of spouting pro-European clap-trap, at the very point where sticking to their principles would put them in to a spot of bother, the Lib Dems have reverted to type and adopted the position of most political advantage.

I am glad they have done it, it is right that we have a referendum on the EU Treaty, but that doesn't ignore the fact that, for the Lib Dems to take this line is just sheer hypocrisy.
