Grieve: Lib Dems have abandoned left wingers
Attorney General Dominic Grieve says the Liberal Democrats have "effectively abandoned" left-wing voters who saw them as an alternative to voters. Speaking to the Politeia think tank, Mr Grieve expressed concern that the contradictions inherent in the coalition meant the Government was becoming "the least populist seen in many a year". Mr Grieve also said that the final decision over whether prisoners will be given the vote will not rest with judges in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), and hinted that the Government could seek to limit the power of the ECHR.
