Spokesman for the libertarian wing of the Tories

Tory Libertarian Boris Johnson made some strong predictions for the outcome of upcoming UK elections.

From the London Telegraph, "Nick Clegg to win the General Election? Has someone put something in the water supply?" April 19:

Will this amazing and ludicrous burst of Cleggophilia keep the Tories from government? My bet remains quite safe. I am certain that the Tories will win, and that the current fantasy of a Liberal Democrat resurgence is the biggest load of media-driven nonsense since the funeral of Diana.

I can't think of anything worse for this country than some great ghastly soggy Lib-Lab coalition, dripping with piety and political correctness and unable to take the decisions we need for fear of offending the vast hordes of public sector special interest groups they collectively represent.

That is why the current madness cannot last. The Lib Dems are everywhere today, like the orange spores of an exploded puffball. Next week they will be gone with the wind.

Boris Johnson is often described as too "libertarian" for the Tories. (See UK Independent)
