caparo Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I suspect Clegg has as long as he wants. When he gets fed up of politics there will be a well paid job for him. He might not command the favours Blair seems to rake in, but I'm sure he'll do OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Lets face it, Clegg has a lot longer than the armchair experts of SF believe or wish. Like this little bird he his only their due to a mutual need …….. there is a word for that isn’t there. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mJ7es-MqscA/ThxOeKvUHlI/AAAAAAAAAbE/fnGT7-FPMJM/s1600/egpl1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 All the parties agreed in their election manifestos that we should have a "right to recall" so constituents could get rid of bad MPs. Since the election nothing has been mentioned. There is no way to get rid of MPs mid term without them dying, volunteering to go or getting put in prison. I think I'll have to ask Meg Mugg about it again. Maybe other SF users could ask their MPs about it? However party leaders can be forced out of leadership by their own party, that's usually how they go. Zac Goldsmith put forward some proposals for this. Search his twitter or webbie.

green Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Clegg will retire into the House of Lords or Europe 3-6mths before end of this term. Vince Cable will take over the Lib Dems. Ill wager a wee bet that Scriven will go for Cleggs area and lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossyrooney Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I think Scriven has been tagged a loser and is quietly being put out to grass,his vanity and contemptuous attitude to anyone that didn't agree with him has finally been seen for what it is. I would think that he was going to be shipped to a little backwater somewhere and be quietly forgotten about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love to think that was the case, but i fear theres too many Lib Dems in the machine who thinks hes a bit of a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you're right,but instinct for survival will cut in come the election, and who on earth will want to be associated with a proven loser?

caparo Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 According to the polls most Conservative and Lib/Dem voters are happy with the coalition, most Labour voters are not. I wonder if folks added their political aliegances to their comments we would find the same. I doubt that the L/Ds are that bothered about these opinions from folk who would never vote for them but just want to stir it up on Sheffield Forum. I think the decision makers in the parties are pretty good at spotting who is who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
