Not that I would ever say "I told you so"...

But... Vince Cable's indiscretion with two lovely young mums in his surgery (who just happened to be from the Daily Telegraph) illustrates my point about cognitive dissonance perfectly.

Vince is suffering so greatly with the psychological torture that is the coalition, that he just had to blurt it out to a friendly face. He is reported to have stated that ministers should be “putting a brake on proposals that are in danger of getting out of control" and he confessed that behind the scenes, the Tories and Liberal Democrats are fighting a “constant battle." Unfortunately for him he said this to journalists and now his reputation is in tatters.

The moral of this story: Compromising your true values will cost you dearly!
