Why it's wrong to admonish the potential future CBI chief for backing the Tories.

Don't play by First Past the Post's rules.

No one's talking about deals with the Lib Dems, because there's nothing in their manifesto to scare the Tory or Labour horses.

The irony of David Cameron's response to the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack.

Would the Lib Dems manage to keep Nick Clegg as leader during coalition negotiations with Labour?

Will the decision whether or not to go into coalition in 2015 depend more on money than on principle?

The Liberal Democrats are giving hope to their grassroots activists, and that's what matters come the election.

Democracy shouldn't make you pick sides.

The Liberal Democrats aren't as universally europhile as you think.

If Carswell wins his by-election, and the potential momentum that could give Ukip, an EU referendum will look more likely – and the renegotiation would suddenly look very different.

The Lib Dem leader's tougher words on immigration policy today reveal the lack of "wisdom" from his advisers during his debates with Ukip's Nigel Farage.

In a party that prides itself on the power its members have over procedure, perhaps it's they who should be blamed for the handling of the Rennard case.

The Lib Dem leader should seek a renewed mandate from his party.

The party's visceral attacks on the Lib Dems show it is staking everything on a majority. 

How many know that the party still aspires to abolish tuition fees and plans to review the bedroom tax? 

According to the FT, 72% of people who voted for the Lib Dems in 2010 would no longer do so. But no one’s panicking yet.

Next week, the Deputy PM needs some pointed barbs, a few more jokes and a lot more passion.
