Vince Cable crossed with Sid Vicious and with a dash of Sinatra

By Mark Pinsent | Wed 14th April 2010 - 11:50 am

The latest salvo from the InVinceCable We Trust campaign is Vince Cable’s Way…a, umm, ‘mild’ reworking of the crooners’ classic My Way. Though think more Sid Vicious than Sinatra…

Clearly the video’s a lighthearted way to make the serious point at the centre of the InVinceCable campaign: that Vince Cable is the only realistic candidate for chancellor with the credentials to do the job effectively.

We realise that this focus on one position in the next Government and one individual amongst all politicians isn’t one supported by all, but the potential for a hung parliament, in our view, gives the opportunity for the right man being placed in the right job.

We’re aiming to have that very question asked of the party leaders during the third and final television debate: “In the event of a hung parliament, do you agree that Vince Cable is the person best-qualified to hold the position of chancellor of the exchequer?” We’d like as many people as possible to submit that very question online to the BBC in advance of the final debate on the 29th April, the debate which will focus on the economy.

We’ve been described by some as being politically naive. That may be true. But isn’t it also the case that the majority of the British electorate share our naivety?
