The Liberal Democrat's shadow chancellor, Vince Cable, today made clear on the Andrew Marr Show, that the Lib Dems will rise above what he called tribal politics. "The public mood seems to be", he said "for politicians to work together. People are fed-up with very narrow, short-term tribal politics and want to see politicians rising above that particularly as the public senses we are in an economic crisis". Adding "we will do our part in that. The public expect us to be grown-up and business-like and that's how we would approach this".
