Liberal Democrats set to attack David Cameron
The Liberal Democrat party conference is nearly upon us and already it seems that the third strongest party in the UK has discounted Labour and is now set to attack David Cameron as a "con artist". In a damning indictment of Gordon Brown's authority, the Liberal Democrats believe that Labour is a dying party and infighting could well be enough to end their chance of victory at the next election.
However, the Liberal Democrats believe that David Cameron is the main challenger for the hot-seat in the UK and will this week attack his economic policies suggesting that he is willing to do anything and say anything to gain office. Inadvertently, if these attacks hit the headlines and are believed by any voters they will help the Labour Party which many believe is the real strategy of the Liberal Democrats, as they would look to hold the balance if Labour took a very small majority at the next election.
The economy is certain to take centre stage over the next few months as we limp forward to the general election which needs to be called over the next nine months. These are very interesting times in the UK political scene and there will be much to-ing and fro-ing in the short to medium term, but who will win?
