After recently finishing watching Clegg being spectacularly interrogated by students on BBC Radio 1 (shown on the BBC Parliament Channel) I have come to the conclusion that Clegg is truly out of his depth when it comes to policy scrutiny. He could barely answer the students' excellent questions and for that reason, I cannot for the life of me stand him. Here is a man whose party is ahead in the majority of opinion polls and he can't answer questions on his own policies for government!
One student rightly asked how illegal immigrants could prove they have been here for more than 10 years in order to meet the Lib-Dems' amnesty deal. How can they if they are illegal? Moreover, what message does it give not only to other immigrants who actually do their bit but also to the rest of the population? Well done Mr. Illegal you've managed to hide out here illegally for ten years, welcome to Britain!
Clegg also ridiculously made the point that all these illegal immigrants get taken in by vicious gangs. Um, what about the illegal immigrants who don't but can somehow claim benefits through our massively flawed welfare system? What about those who have nothing to do with these gangs? It was such an incredible marginalisation on Clegg's part I think even the illegal immigrants who would benefit the amnesty would be offended.
The Liberal Democrats are ridiculous. Clegg is a joke who once properly interrogated over policy where they are properly scrutinised, he has few answers. The answers he does give are laughable and insulting.
I don't like either Cameron or Brown, but I hope they decimate Clegg in tomorrows debate. Clegg deserves it.
