When the LibDems were simply the second opposition party, Vince Cable's words of wisdom, not to mention his twinkling feet, shone through the gloom like a beacon of hope. Vince sounded as if he knew what he was talking about, and the tune he was dancing to, and became the darling of the Nation.
Now, in a senior Government post, he is proving an embarrassment to everyone. First the "I may not vote for my own policy" fiasco, and now caught making naive, unguarded and wholly inappropriate comments about the role he might play in Government decision making and more.
Mr Cable may be academically strong but he has demonstrated a serious lack of political judgement in recent weeks. A few months ago, his position was unassailable as the most high profile LibDem and a man whose expertise had struck a chord with the populace of a beleaguered nation; now he has shown himself as being politically unsuited to high office. He should go, and would if the Government was not quite so weak.
