What the papers say

Independent  “Many of the good things the Coalition has done are owed to the Liberal Democrats. Nick Clegg may not personally recover from the tuition fees debacle, despite being right (eventually). But history will record him as the man who turned a party of protest into one of government. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/editorials/in-defence-of-liberal-democracy-10224221.html The Times “Nick Clegg made a bold decision to take the Liberal Democrats into government. Power has been a justified gamble for the Liberal Democrats…Their signature policy of taking people who earn £10,000 or less out of taxation altogether has been one of their successes.” http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/leaders/article4430579.ece Sunday Times "...[the Coalition] did survive and this has been a period of political stability that would have been the envy of many majority governments of the past. Mr Clegg deserves to survive and so do his closest Lib Dem colleagues in government. Tory supporters in Labour-Lib Dem marginals may wish to vote for the Lib Dem candidate..." http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/comment/article1551497.ece FT  "The Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition has shown European-style cohabitation can work. At this delicate moment, the best outcome would be a continuation of the 2010 coalition between the Conservatives and Lib Dems. Mr Clegg’s party has proved a responsible partner in government. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/e61ce174-ea94-11e4-96ec-00144feab7de.html#axzz3Yo3wlBqy The Yorkshire Post  "Mr Clegg does deserve credit – and respect – for taking uncomfortable decisions...in order to maintain a strong and stable government." http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/debate/yp-comment/the-yorkshire-post-opinion-five-more-years-for-the-coalition-best-option-is-tories-and-lib-dems-1-7240364 The Sun “[We have a message] for Tories in 14 unwinnable seats where only the Lib Dems can beat Labour: Give the Lib Dems your vote this time.”
