It's clear - if you vote Liberal you get Tory. 13 May 2010

Newport East MP Jessica Morden has challenged local LibDems to back Nick Clegg's decision to hand the keys to 10 Downing Street to David Cameron's Tories.
"During the campaign in Newport East, the Lib Dems were trying to get people who usually vote Labour to vote for them by claiming to be a left of centre and saying that they'd fight for social justice. Today, the Lib Dems have betrayed these people and shown their true colours by agreeing to prop up a Tory Government.
From now onwards, voters in Newport will know that they have a simple choice: if you don't want a Tory Government, vote Labour - you can't trust the Lib Dems with your vote. If you believe in social justice and Labour values, only Labour will stand up for you. I therefore look forward to welcoming centre-left voters in Newport back to Labour. Already, across the country over 20 people a minute have been applying to join the Labour Party - the only opposition to the Tories in Parliament."
