"Imagine the Conservatives go home and get an absolute majority, on 25% of the eligible votes. They then turn around in the next week or two and say we're going to chuck up VAT to 20%, we're going to start cutting teachers, cutting police and the wage bill in the public sector. I think if you're not careful in that situation… you'd get Greek-style unrest."
Nick Clegg, April 2010
How wrong he was. The Conservatives only got 23% of the eligible vote and did not win an absolute majority. But it's (kind of) happened anyway. I wonder who let them do all those terrible things around VAT and cuts?
