eastbank Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 As Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg used as part of his justification for joining up with the Conservatives, the prize of electoral reform, if as seems possible, the voters vote no to the Alternative Vote system, will the only honourable course of action for Clegg, be to resign from his leadership of the party to make way for a less Conservative-friendly leader? in this life....everything is about first past the post.....we all like a winner....pity our football team don't favour that system...

Guest sibon Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I can't see Clegg resigning over a decision taken by the British public. He's delivered on the referendum, that is his job done. He had to keep one promise, didn't he? If the vote is no, the Lib Dems will become a very interesting party. Thus far, many moderate Lib Dems have toed the party line, for a simple reason: PR is the ultimate prize for them as they have most to gain from it. If they can't even get AV past the electorate, I suspect that many activists will question the benefit of staying inside the coalition. We have all seen the stress that the referendum campaign has placed upon the coalition. A no vote will increase that stress, not at Westminster, but in the grassroots of the party.

HeadingNorth Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 can anyone tell me whats the point of Nick Clegg. Getting some Lib-Dem policies through Parliament is the point of Nick Clegg. He's been successful, unlike every Liberal leader (bar Steel for two years) since 1923. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
