Who is progressive now?

Anthony Barnett (London, OK): Well done Paul Linford over at the Liberal Conspiracy. He picked up immediately that David Cameron's  flirting glance at the Lib-Dems by offering them a progressive alliance was also an attempt to hijack the "P" word, Is Progressive a word worth fighting for? Now Polly T has followed him without reading him. It seems there is a  slick Tory  repositioning underway backed up by a pamphlet! More on this to come, I guess. But I suspect that playing with party alliances like any old tart under the mistletoe is not the best way of building a political strategy. At least, I hope not.
