There’s no prize at stake – just the opportunity to prove you’re wittier than any other LDV reader…
Here is Tory Chancellor George Osborne flanked by the two Lib Dem members of the ‘Quad’, Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander. What do you think might be being said or thought by or about them?
And the winners of our last caption comp is…
Some fantastic entries for our most recent caption competition, Tim Farron & Prince Charles “I want that hat” Edition.
The winners, according to The Voice’s judging panel of one, was this one by Nick (not Clegg):
Tim to HRH: “How do you feel about GCHQ monitoring your conversations with plants?”
HRH to Tim: “How do you feel about them monitoring yours with God?”
Got a photo of a prominent Lib Dem you think would work well for a future caption competition? Then please email us at [email protected].

Clegg: Tous pour un!
Alexander: Un pour tous!
Osborne: Tout for moi. Merci beaucoup!
Danny and Nick turn up to watch George announce Lib Dem manifesto commitments as government policy.
That has to be worth a small snigger.
George tried hard to supress his violent impulses when the other two started backseat chancelloring.
All:
“It wuzzn’t me!”
Danny Alexander: I’m prompting you, you idiot!
Nick Clegg (from Osborne’s right): Get it right, right, right
Danny Alexander: “His lips are definitely moving”
Nick Clegg: “Yes but I can definitely hear him speaking from down here”
Clegg: “I know we are called the Liberals n’all, but how about we use our Green bill to force homeowners to sign up to home-improvement loans if they want to install a new boiler or conservatory?”
Osborne: “You do realise that you would be potentially damaging the houses resale value by lumping the property along with a ten year commitment to high energy prices?”
Alexander: “I think you’ve forgotten what liberalism is all about nick, not to mention that we’re finding out the payback times are probably twice as long.
Clegg: “Hmmm, not very appealing either economically nor electorally, still, that’s what lib-dem’ism has been all about for the last century!”
G: ‘Now let me see if I can remember how it goes’
D: ‘Don’t worry, George, I wrote it so I’ll prompt you’
N: ‘I bet he’ll forget to say that the good bits are ours the bad bits are his’
george……………No here, heres I haven’t said a word yet………..
All three together: “All for 0.25 and 0.25 for
Osborne: “And if you don’t pay up, I’ll send my heavies round. – No, sorry, I meant my lightweights!”
George: “Look at this watch hanging from my hand by a string. Watch it closely. You are beginning to feel drowsy. You are falling into a deep sleep where you will agree with everything I say and repeat it when you wake. Rich people are overtaxed, green measures are a luxury we can’t afford in recession, and the party must be over for people on benefits.”
Nick Clegg: “I’d never seen the tories from this angle before may 2010″
Danny Alexander: ” I wish the electorate could see things from our point of view.”
Nick Clegg: “Do some of these new tax proposals seem half baked to you?”
Danny Alexander: ” Maybe they’re not as hot as I thought.”
