Ooops, I bet they didn't see this coming.

"Vince Cable is to stand down as Liberal Democrat deputy leader to concentrate on his job as business secretary.

Mr Cable, who has held the party role since 2006 and served as acting party leader in 2007, is one of five Lib Dem MPs in the coalition cabinet."

I bet the Conservatives didn't expect this. I bet the Lib Dem voters didn't see this.

But it's a beginning, the beginning of the end for the new colour coalition.

This is not really someone jumping ship, just changing political colours. But first he has to get rid of the old colours. Keep this up and soon the Conservatives will be Liberal and the Democrats confused.

The same old politicians keep on selling out the British Electorate.

Vince Cable was voted in by Lib Dem voters. His contempt for them by doing this so soon after the election is par-for-the-course for Career Politicians.
