Which policy document is all that in or has he stated that's his position since he became the leader?

Clearly another Lib/Dem kipper, two faced and gutless.  He must have been given what he let the Tories get away with when he could have made a difference.

His voting record

Cable is completely damned by his service in the Coalition.  A case in point is the Royal Mail sell-off that was directly his responsibility to administer.  Either:

1. He was grossly incompetent in underpricing it by so much; or
2. He was siding with the Tories in selling it off underpriced and with early preference to friendly groups of investors.

There really is no other way of reading it.  Either he was grossly incompetent or was an outright Tory in his cuts to the state.  Neither of which is ever going to get me to think of him as worthy as leader of what is still a publicly centre-left ideology party.

I'm not being funny mate, but it should be obvious from the examples of legislation I provided. 

I'm not sure about your reference to the coalition. I thought the idea of the liberals entering into it was to restrain the Tories from the more vicious aspects of their core values, the bedroom tax for instance. Would you like some more examples of Mr Cable's voting preferences?

I owe him an apology: he supported the smoking ban. Poor reading skills on my part. So ill substitute voting in favour of an increase in vat which affects poor people and voting against an increase in tax on bankers' bonuses...well go figure on that one. Plenty more where that came from
