Do you call getting elected on a mandate and then doing the total opposite "doing the right thing"? He has displayed an outrageous lack of judgement and placed his own personal lust for power ahead of the long term interests of the party - and now the party is paying the price. If Garry Monk had left the Swans in the same state that the Lid Dems now find themselves you would be calling for his head!
Nicola Sturgeon has already ruled out any deals with the Tories, and has offered to form a coalition with Labour, The Greens, and Plaid, to form an anti- austerity alliance against the Tories, and as I said previously Cameron is in for one hell of a rough ride, it's going to be an interesting 5 years as clearly the political map is rapidly changing. Pretty much all of Wales and Scotland are against this Tory Government.................. Anyone seen the extinct Lib-Dem dinosaur? Will it ever show up in the fossil record...............
Politics is so much complicated than football for gods sake.......Do you think every labour voter disagrees with everything the Tories do or vice versa.? Of course they don't just like Tory voters don't agree with everything the Tories are doing...Nick clegg was the best person at the time to be inside the government and stop the tories from moving to far to the right and he did a good job of dragging the Tories back towards the center ground as the cuts we have had already would have been more severe that's for sure...Unfortunately The Lib dems have taken the brunt of the government failings where everyone thought the Tories would be hit hard...The Tories had a campaign that worked and it worked better than they ever thought it would.....
There's an argument for saying he'd have been more effective on the opposition bench's, and his party would have kept it's credibility too?.........
He could have walked away at any time Dai and stopped the f****s in their tracks. Instead he ensured the country suffered five years of Tory/LibDem austerity. The most cruel government in recent history - aided and abetted by the Lib Dems
Yes there is that argument also but the choice was made and remember clegg never made that choice on his own.......Now its all over and the decision has been made and the country must now have a very strong opposition and the time to choose a strong leader is not now straight after an election but later when the dust has settled.
How is Leanee Wood a poor leader when Plaid held its seats yet Nick Clegg is a good leader after getting humiliated at the polls?
Tories won't care though, they can push through pretty much what they like with a majority. Besides any party will be hesitant of doing a deal with the devil (SNP). Where can the SNP go from here? No more seats up for grabs and they've caused a big lurch to the right. It's a catch 22 for them.
Thats an easy one valley........She didn't get the seats or the votes she was adamant she would get........I told you before that i cringe when i hear her speak she sounds like a ******...
I now have a Tory MP in the Gower........OK Im a rare breed of being comfortably well off and will do very well under the Tories and always have....But I have never been a selfish man saying im alright so why should i care......Well i was not brought up like that and i don't like people who are stomping on those who have not all because they have big houses more than one car and money just as i have (to a degree). It's demeaning and spiteful and i feel the pain of those less fortunate than myself......I buy food for distribution at a food bank that i helped set up and do my share of working there. ..So that is the reason i detest the conservatives and their policies as they care more about people like me than the low paid, vulnerable and the old and sick........I could not sleep at night if i did not care....
You think you're astute because you predicted the demise of the Lib Dems It has happened to the junior partner in coalitions all over Europe Everyone walked into it with their eyes wide open. Those Lib Dems who dissented warned it could see the end of the party in the week the deal was struck! As Dai even understands...it wasn't Nick Clegg's decision alone. The majority of the party backed the decision. You keep stating it was all about personal power which marks you out as anything but astute. Naive is a better word. You're like a stuck record. Endless schadenfreud You don't stand for anything, just full of hate.
Nick did it for what he believes was the right thing and i wont slander the guy for that. he even put a halt to some cuts or the poor would be a lot worse off now.....Our NHS is well under threat today, nick kept his eye on that which i thank him for......
