That's all well & good but not so good when Liberal peers vote down their own amendments though.
I loved a tweet I got yesterday - "Shirley Williams will go down in history for wrecking two centre-left parties - how the Tories must love her!"
There are life-long Liberals and LibDems jumping ship on a wholesale basis at the moment, their support in the country is visibly withering on a daily basis. I wonder how many are confident that they'll still have a job (as an MP), come 2015?

Looks like Quisling-in-Chief, Baroness Williams has managed to stymie a vote to condemn the bill at the LibDem Conference

It is not too late to let your feelings be known, be under absolutely no illusion, if this bill is voted onto the statute book, there will be no turning back. Even if a future government wanted to bring OUR NHS back under state control, the EU wouldn't allow it.
This is far too important to simply sit on our hands and do nothing. There is a very real danger that by handing GPs a commissioning budget that some will simply run out of money - THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REFER PATIENTS. Then the "management organisations" will become involved and they'll be creaming off a slice of the GP's budget before he ever gets a chance to order treatment.
So when all you that voted tory suddenly find that you or your loved ones cannot get the treatment they require, I hope you've got adequate private healthcare provision because you are certainly going to need .
So, Robinson, Standee and the rest of you that voted this shower into power. It's your fault.
I feel like starting a whole new thread on this but I don't want to risk the wrath of the mods

My LibDem MP has already made his feelings known about the bill but his Twitter account has gone very quiet these past few days, which is strange because he's never off the bloody thing...

I've seen him tweet from inside the chamber of the House of Commons before, in fact frequently, only last week he was tweeting about how he was trying to catch the eye of the Speaker at some sort of free-for-all question time, he'd be tweeting inside the Conference by choice for sure.
There we are "In business questions trying to catch the Speaker's Eye." 28th Feb - he's never off the bloody thing, not a peep out of him over the past few days though.
