Nick Clegg: I am more anti-establishment now than when I entered government
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/20/leader-interviews-nick-clegg-anti-establishment
Excuse me while I laugh my head off! He said it was possible for his party to be anti-establishment without being populist, despite still being part of the government. He also said parliament and PMQs are "a joke"
The man was DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER for five years and has done NOTHING to change any of that or show how anti-establishment he is. Ridiculous!
I think the Lib Dems are losing the plot a bit tbh. Look at the rather desperate editing job they've to Labour's new election poster: https://twitter.com/libdems/status/578945214263529472 And that yellow budget business...
They can't decide whether to defend the coalitions record or separate themselves from it. It won't matter anyway. Everyone knows they'll gladly jump back in to bed with the Tories all over again in May given the opportunity as The Guardian's "Clegg source" hints at here: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/14/lib-dems-lose-half-seats-still-hold-power-tory-coalition "Lib Dems could lose half seats and still hold power, Clegg source claims" I wouldn't be so smug about our broken election system if I was them!

Your links don't work.
ok here.
Fixed them.
Thanks Boyard.:)
Some of what he says makes sense.
The person who is standing in Thanet South, whatsisname, you know, the Pub Landlord...
Cameron has also been to a pub. He left a child in one at least once.
I laughed at the way he quickly picked up the pint to make sure he was on camera supping it as he was asked the questions. Oh dear. It felt very staged to me. I'm sure he enjoys a pint as much as the next man but it didn't feel genuine. Could the BBC journo not carry his own pint outside?
I menat Farrago.
His wife left the child.
Shortly followed by becoming part of that big establishment in Brussels where he can spout his pro eu bull to his hearts content.
Your mum.
Methinks Clegg is losing it to be honest.

^^^ Now how true is that?
More likely he'll cling on to his seat. Could easily find himself dropping 5 to 10 thousands votes on 2010, but he'll still retain his seat with that. Tories will probably increase their share; Labour even more so due to the type of candidate and effort they're putting in.
If I had to predict votes in Sheffield Hallam it would be: Lib (18,000), Con (14,000), Labour (12,000).
I think history's verdict on Clegg as the man who put the muzzle on the rabid, snarling, drooling Tory dog is going to be much kinder than most people currently imagine. And no I'm not a Lib Dem.
I disagree. History only really tends to remember the broad brush-strokes. If we're speaking in historical terms there's no way the nuance of policy influence will be prominently.
