Flip Flop Clegg

An article in today's Daily Telegraph reveals that Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats has, within two days switched his position on forming a coalition government. On sunday's Andrew Marr Show, Clegg made clear that under no circumstances would the Liberal Democrats prop up the Labour government, especially if they come third in the popular vote and yet win the most parliamentary seats. He rightly said that situation would be undemocratic and the result itself would only go to prove the lack of fairness in our electoral system. And yet today he has changed his mind.

Speaking at a campaign stop, he stated that he would support "even the man on the moon" if it led to electoral reform". So there you have it, due to the surge in support Clegg has become arrogant and has out-reached himself with his demands. This is no longer about fairness and democratic accountability, it is about doing what he can for his party not I might add the British people. He has contradicted himself within two days and this is a perfect reflection of the sheer opportunism and dirty tricks so endemic within the Liberal Democrats. Surely supporting the ditching of Brown after the election in return for a more 'compatible' Labour figure is not only fooling the electorate but itself undemocratic?

For those of you thinking he offers change, he doesn't. He just doesn't. He is doing this for himself and his party, not you. His demands only reinforce his growing ego, who is he is to demand what is the rightful choice of the electorate? It is up to them what happens at this election. All of you please, don't fall for Clegg and his thin veneer of 'change'. He would lead this country to disaster.
