Will the Liberal Democrats derive any erstwhile advantage from their association with Cameron's veto. Waking up to the potential enormity of his decision, they have gone on the attack, warning or prophesying that Britain will become a pygmy nation. Again, the pygmy party wishes to have it both ways: the trappings of power and the calls of carping criticism. We know what their approach to foreign policy is: attach a mat to your back stencilled with "Walk on Me" and lie down before Sarkozy, the pound shop Napoleon.
Hopefully, we will have earned the undying emnity of the European commissariat as they attempt to strut and puff at this undiluted wielding of national interest (necessary as Sarkozy ignored the Luxembourg convention). Already, we hear non-entities cry with synthetic outrage at this 'nationalism'.
Yet, the whole convention of straitjackets and instability fudge may well unwind in short order (like all of the other summits). There is no more money; there is no solution to the debt; there is an unending debt deflation in the periphery. The result of this summit will founder on the rocks of default and political reality.
Given that attachment to the Eurozone is now like being chained to a corpse, does this make Labour and teh Liberal democrats political necrophiliacs?
