A.B.Yaffle Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Clegg thinks he has got a taste of power now, and has shown he is willing to ditch all principles to cling on to it. I think there will be a few LibDem MPs who will be willing to stick to their election promises and vote against their leader's new policy, but probably not enough to bring Clegg down from his power-trip of the chance to be Deputy PM. He is, in my opinion, the worst leader of any party in my lifetime. Thatcher is a despicable person, but I think she stood up for her beliefs and I think the same about Cameron. Clegg, however, has abandoned everything he has ever said just for a chance to be in government. I know he said he would try to do a deal with whoever won most seats, but he did also say he would oppose a rise in VAT and a rise in student tuition fees. A deal could have been done without a formal coalition, but he has jumped at the opportunity for a seat in government rather than what he promised the voters.

Guest sibon Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Gullible fool. And that's being charitable to you..... Now that's not nice. Accurate, but not nice. Now, what was that pledge? Still, you can fool 9% of the people some of the time:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaFan Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 We are only a few months in to a 5 year agreement. There is along way to go yet.Tough decisions have to and will be made. As one sees from the faces of the leaders that are in this for a long time, it is wearing and it is draining, but you have to stay with it and stick at it. Its the only way to sort out the mess. Could you have squeezed any more platitudes into this post? I only counted 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The abandonment of principles and barefaced lies are harder to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frumius Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Did Mr Clegg pledge something. I think not. It was only a "wish"which depended on his being asked to form a govt. As he was asked by big Dave, all wishes are suspended. That's fair.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was referring to furniture polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think you are being a little pedantic? How was he to know people might take "pledge" more seriously than "promise"? And then exp ect him to have integrity too? Poor Nick.
