Where's the bloody whale. And also that Rowson marks maybe the first pro-independance cartoon I've seen, if I'm right in reading "baby drowners" as a criticism. Here's another Rowson - it's actually some promotional material whipped up for a new play called This May Hurt a Bit which is presumably about the government loving the NHS.  And last week's Scarfe, which eschews calling Putin gay, a common mockery-style

Surely even the Labour leadership isn't dumb enough to think a coalition with the LibDems would be a good idea.

Well the Lib Dems, who would be the junior partner in such a coalition, could decide to opt out. I would honestly argue that this last time around they'd have been better served by having a Con-Lab grand coalition than being in government themselves because Labor could have, in theory, been a more effective block to Conservative party while the LD's sit in a corner flinging poo poo and mopping up protest votes. As is what do they actually get out of being in government? As far as I can see all they recieve is record breaking unpopularity from both their own base and the country as a whole.

If they wanted a Lib-Lab coalation they could of formed it last election along with a bunch of minor party support (just). I doubt labour is going to agree to a coalition when the polls say they're going to win the next election pretty handily.

Plus they got pregnant and left the warzone, they're practically deserters. And I bet the average Mail reader has a few opinions on what they should do with deserters The whole tone of that cartoon is loving weird. Like is that officer meant to be in a relationship with her?

My favourite part is that 'UKIP would require the UK theme medley to be restored to BBC Radio 4.' Because radio theme tunes should be government policy.

I thought UKIP were a "non-racist, libertarian party"? There's nothing remotely libertarian about the government banning burqas and niqabs, "safeguarding" certain companies, reintroducing the Treason Act(!) and interfering in something as trivial as a radio station jingle. Not that I'm advocating libertarianism, I'm one of those dirty Marxists they mention in point 2, but I didn't expect them to be lying about both parts of their description.

UKIP is a single issue party that managed to get a bunch of MEPs (the classic home of the single issue party) and then kick up enough tabloid interest to portray themselves as a new option for "honest Britons" (man in pub, drinking beer and having a fag while he complains about the foreign builder he paid half the going rate not fitting gold taps in his kitchen). They don't know what their policies are because they don't actually have any political ideas other than "the EU - and foreign people in general - are the cause of everything bad". It's part of the reason they have to keep censuring and throwing out their own members.

The Greens are the closest thing to an actual civil-libertarian party in the UK, and they're firmly on the left economically. If you're using the right-wing (e: now default in US discourse) definition (some civil liberties plus more more more economic liberalism) then it would be the Lib-Dems.

The UKIP thing was from 2010, from waht I understand Farage has been denouncing that manifesto ever since. I'd be more interested to know what their non clown-car manifesto looks like if they ever get as far as printing one, as UKIP policy is currently interpreted by the general population as all things to all Englishmen.
