It's a shame because Clegg had promise, I mean, I liked Kennedy but he wasn't leader material, not strong enough and Ming belonged in a Werthers Originals advert, Clegg was someone new, fresh, young and confident. Watching him in PMQs back when Brown was PM actually made me sit up and think 'Wow, the Lib Dems have someone with a backbone'...Dear God, how wrong can one be?
But, I knew that this would happen as soon as it was announced that Clegg had gone with Cameron. If only Brown had offered to stand down and call for new leadership elections in the Labour Party then Clegg may have gone for Labour, and he might have managed to keep some of his voter base. Quite what the economy would be like now under a Lib/Lab coalition is a matter for long and winded debate I am sure, but I think the Lib Dems would be in slightly better shape.
