Is anybody else feeling a little sorry for Nick Clegg?
Last night was suicidal for the Deputy Prime Minister. The man has witnessed the worst results in local elections for the Liberal Demorats since the 1980’s, 70% of the population voted against AV and his entire flock seems to be blaming him for the Tory cuts. David Cameron is grinning like a chesire cat!!
The stability of this coalition government is now questionable.
I do not know where Nick Clegg goes from here. He has lost the faith of those that believed in him and David Cameron seems to have made a laughing stock of him. I was one of those who did believe in him and feel very sadly let down.
After the general election, Clegg held so many cards on the future of the United Kingdom. In his role as Deputy Prime Minister, he could have created and caused much more fuss over those policies that were not part of his party’s manifesto. Today, there are calls for his resignation.
It seems that marriage between Cameron and Clegg is on the rocks and may not last its term. Whatever happens, I would love to be a fly on the wall in those cabinet meetings and maybe now, we will see what Clegg is really made of.
