I think it's a justifiably angry article, fed up with the way that Labour talks about this. I liked that the Miliband speech was reaching out, but it was still horribly patronising, and full of empty rhetoric, and assuming that Lib Dems are really just little Labour people, waiting to bloom. It utterly ignores the fact that Labour are still being authoritarian in various areas (including arguing in favour of Control Orders), and I can entirely understand why it annoyed a lot of people.
While I agree that descending into pointless snark is counter-productive (and some of the article does that), pointing out when politicians are making fairly empty speeches is generally something I'm in favour of.
