I've lost a lot of respect for Clegg after watching some of his speeches at this conference.

He just strikes me as a complete peen.

Didn't one of them say "now, prepare for government" sometime back?

[FourWheelDrift]

He reminds me of a bad daytime TV presenter.

[Jasandjules]

Who cares what he says.

"In fact he may as well have said that he is abandoning his pledge to make your balls the size of pomegranates or cover China in a gigantic, Paisley-patterned table cloth."



Love The Daily Mash.

Did anyone see the party political broadcast from them just after the BBC tea time news? There was only one comment in it that was actually good, and that was the lady that said she thinks that Gordon Brown has lost the plot

That was the Hon. Sir David Steel, who told his then party, the late unlamented Liberal/SDP Alliance, at the party conference of 1981 to 'go back to your constituencies, and prepare for government.' Hindsight's a wonderful thing.

Spitting Image's parody of the time was:

"Go back to your constituencies, and prepare for a bit of a dissappointment".

They weren't wrong.

And very tiny compared to the David Owen puppet.

Well the libdems can afford to say whatever they like because:

A) They will never have power

and

B) If they ever did gain power it is their first priority to immediately give all of that power to a largely unelected EU.

Yep. Diddy David told them to prepare for government and they won .............. 23 seats.

Clegg is a deluded and slightly pathetic figure. Expect him to be replaced by another deluded and pathetic figure after next years election.

Bring back Charlie Kennedy, he might like a drink, but at least he has some charisma and a few original ideas.

That bit was good. Otherwise it was 'Labour are rubbish' and 'Cameron will be rubbish' so 'vote for us by default'

Nothing at all about why they wouldn't be just as rubbish.

You know, I was watching the Qaddaffi (sp?) speech the other day and was thinking that he is exactly what this country needs.

It is rather unlikely, but with Tribal loyalties diminishing, it is possible the Lib Dems could replace Labour as the main party of the left.

Under the first past the post system you tend to have two main challengers for each seat and in the South West and other parts of the country the Lib Dems have already supplanted Labour.
