Hey, LibDems; not so fast on Tory bed-hopping

A secret Conservative Party policy memo, drafted by policy staff and sent out under shadown Foreign Secretary William Hague's name to party leader David Cameron, says that not only have the Tories not abandoned their Euro-skepticism, they intend to fight for it fully in Parliament.

The Tories claim they have no idea what this paper is, despite the Observer having it vouched for quite well as a Tory document. And, Cameron has yet to disavow it.

Note to Liberal Democratic leader Nick Clegg: I think your own party will depose you if you sign off on a coalition with the Conservatives, or even guarantee Cameron an "unmolested" minority government. (And, if you do the latter, you throw away what bargaining power you have right now.)
