Today Nick Clegg revealed a new poster claiming that the Tories could form a coalition with Ukip. Speaking about the prospect of ‘BLUKIP,’ Clegg warned of the potential dangers of such a pairing:
‘The prospect of a left wing alliance between Labour and the SNP has been well covered. What’s equally possible is an alliance that will drag Britain further and further to the right: BLUKIP – a bloc of right wingers from UKIP, the Conservatives and the DUP that could hold the balance of power. There is a very real danger that Nigel Farage and his friends could hold David Cameron to ransom.’
Still, Mr S can’t help but think Clegg is already pre-empting his own exit by photoshopping Nigel Farage’s face onto his body for the pr stunt. The photo they use for the poster is one of David Cameron and Clegg in happier times:
