Is Nick Clegg a Masochist?

Question

Because Cameron and the Tories seem to like nothing more than humiliating him, and he keeps coming back for more. His supine attitude is being exploited by the Tories, and many long standing principles of the LIb Dema are being crushed by Cameron, yet he barley raises a squeak.

Will Nick Clegg grow a pair and stand up to the Tories, or will he watch as his party falls apart, or do you think he kind of enjoys being treated as a non entity?

Answer 1

I loved the way he, first of all, backed what Cameron had done. Then, obviously, his party told him that it was time he got a backbone and told Cameron that he was wrong. So now we have seen a complete turnround. An absolute Toady!

This is always the trouble with coalitions: the people in the minor party get lots of good jobs, out of all proportion to their numbers. As they would be totally unlikely to get into government any other way they cling like limpets to their only chance of fame.

You'd never think I have voted Lib or Lib Dem all my long life, would you!

I never will again!



A further point! We have heard that Cameron's action was to protect our financial centre because it represents a large percentage of our money-making ability. Surely this is ONLY because our engineering industry has been allowed to shrink to such a low level that the financial section is now important. I'd sooner see a British car industry and a British Shipbuilding industry creating more supply companies and giving jobs to British people!

Germany doesn't just assemble foreign kit-cars from bits manufactured across the other side of the world! They make Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Volkswagen cars. All of which are backed up by thousands of smaller German supply companies. What a shame we won (Ha! Ha!) the war - thanks to the USA. Oh, by the way, have we paid THEM back all we owe yet?

Answer 2

He is a silly little boy who has not done a days real work in his life he represents the arrogant liberal set a minority which has no loyalty to this nation. His party has very little support in fact a election tom will leave them flat lining.So what a damn cheek he and his party have whining about not caving in to the EU and resorting to the classic tactics of the Europhiles name calling(little englander etc) and scaremongering we will be isolated the only group isolated are the pro EU club BBC the Guardian/ Independent/ Mirror and Labour and of course his little party. Its a shame that Labour have not woken up to there own grass roots which is more euro sceptic than the leadership a opportunity is here to speak for the nation from a left wing position and support a vote on a new relationship with Europe .

Answer 3

Nick Cleggs spine.............. what a laugh, 2 world wars fought and won! Yet the past governments have all but sold the UK down the swanny, we probably would be speaking german now if the lib-dems ever got in power, It shows they are not for the UK that wars were fought for, Cameron had no choice but to do what he did and a referendum of British people should confirm this, we need to get this country back to being independent and keep our knowledge to ourselves, we are now left in a vunerable position due to being nicey nicey and doing as we are told by germany and france.................france......chr ist, I wouldn't trust them yellow backs. Get us out of the EU!

Answer 4

if the tories go down, then the lib dems go down with them, and the libs will never get in power ever again, even in a coalition.

theres not a lot nick clegg can do, im glad to stay. i disagree with everthing he is in favour of

Answer 5

lots of persons say which you're no longer a efficient passable party to be able to save handle of energy, while to procure any on the subsequent basic election. My undertaking is at the instant a Liberal Democrats self-discipline, even nonetheless our MP is from Labour. maximum persons have become wiped out of the politicians and their 'techniques', and want a sparkling party who's safeguard. we don't ought to spend our time nerve-racking relating to the elections - we are persons who've lives, and are greater desirable than basically some crosses on products of paper. Canvassing skill that the final public want out with the previous, and in with the type new. Do you experience that the Liberal Democrats can gain reform and please the British Public whilst? in my opinion, i do no longer want to have Labour in, in spite of the shown fact that i do no longer extremely like the Conservatives the two. the three substantial events are establishing to blur purely a sprint on the limitations, and unexpectedly there's a giant character opposition for in all risk the main primary jobs (nonetheless it would not look like it) in Britain. we want a sturdy chief, and the prompt coalitions should not be the respond, as historic previous shows us that coalitions would nicely be vulnerable if the events are indecisive. we want good suggestions- no longer a pair of words thrown mutually- and we want them now.

Answer 6

On this topic he is powerless the Cameron has stopped a motion going to parliament which means Clegg can't even get the Lib-dems to abstain on a vote and hope labour overpower them.

Labour itself even has euro sceptics so short of pulling out heavy whips they couldn't even get the motion through if it had made it.

Answer 7

I think he's under some illusion that he owes them something



He draws lines in the sand and they just rub them out. He doesn't seem to notice half the time. Lets face it, the guy is flaky and weak. He's bossed around by somebody who isn't fit to govern the country, that says a lot.

Answer 8

if the coalition collapses, then Liberal lose most of their seats, most likely Cameron then gets his majority, but why risk that?



Labour can't come back to power yet, there is nowhere for them to go. They can hardly reverse cuts that they were only 'putting off', because now they cannot be put off. They cannot scrap pension changes that they thought of themselves

Answer 9

Nick Clegg is a boy playing with the grown ups, it will all end in tears.

Answer 10

He is a promise breaker,an expert in a house full of them.

For a sniff of power,he is destroying a political party ,which at least pretended to be honest.

Answer 11

More like a maggott.
