For better or worse I think there is collective responsibility, at least among the "top five" who are cabinet ministers, for what we have done in government. Nick is as good a spokesperson as, probably better than, any of the others. From what I hear of his London radio phone-in he seems to come over very well. His mistake is probably to surround himself with too many acolytes who are still we behind the ears.Peter Wrigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481117156930677255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732407426313451205.post-83696501772675802352014-06-15T16:06:57.035+01:002014-06-15T16:06:57.035+01:00So long as we continue to allow Nick Clegg to stay...So long as we continue to allow Nick Clegg to stay as leader, he will continue to destroy our chances of ever recovering.

As other have found out (SDP, BNP) it takes a lot of effort to build up a permanent presence. I give them two years: long enough of course to upset a few apple-carts in May 2015. <br /><br /> My money is on the Greens. At one time I thought we might achieve a credible fusion: their idealism and our credibility.
