UK govt referendum war: Clegg hits out at Cameron
The Conservative and LibDem parties, coalition partners in the UK government, are increasingly making bitter attacks on each other in the battle over the voting system referendum due on May 5.
LibDem leader and deputy prime minister Nick Clegg on Sunday accused Prime Minister David Cameron of “defending the indefensible” by campaigning to retain the current first-past-the-post system. Mr Clegg accused Mr Cameron of aligning himself with “reactionary interests” to oppose the alternative vote system. The LibDems joined the coalition last year after getting the Tories to agree on a referendum.
