Re: Nick Clegg - MP's in General - You couldn't write the script
Tory MP Amber Rudd was interviewed by the FT today about what it’s like to have a small majority (she’s only 1,993 ahead of Labour in Hastings). Unfortunately for Amber, she took the opportunity to commit some significant political gaffes.
So as a public service to Amber – and other MPs – here’s a quick guide on what not to say in an interview.
When asked why you chose to stand for a seat you have no links to, and there’s a concern your constituents might thing you’re a newcomer who doesn’t care about the local area, don’t copy Amber and say:
[b]“I wanted to be within two hours of London and I could see we were going to win it.”[/b]
When talking about your constituency – and your constituents – don’t compound the error by making it sound like a bleak hellhole, like Amber did:
[i]“You get people who are on benefits, who prefer to be on benefits by the seaside. They’re not moving down here to get a job, they’re moving down here to have easier access to friends and drugs and drink.”
[/i]
And when you’re asked about how gay marriage might have an impact on the General Election, try to avoid Amber’s mistake of getting specific (however true it might be):
[i]“When it comes to a general election, I really don’t think they’ll still be thinking about anal sex,”[/i]
And of course always – always – stay upbeat about your chances of victory, unlike Amber, who said:
“If the worst comes to the worst, it’s been a great five years.”
With interviews like this, you can see why she might be thinking of the worst…............................

I do wonder where he's going to stand in the next election, I can't see the students of Sheffield Hallam being firmly behind him.
I voted Lib Dem, as I believed in most of their policies, inparticular PR, student fees and raising the income tax threshold (which they have actually done to be fair). I won't be doing so again until they have a change around in the leadership because they clearly don't believe in them.

Henkeman said:Will he survive as leader? Etc.
I'm guessing his days may well be numbered.
That hopeless Lemsip Fuckwit, or whatever the fuck he's called, who was shagging a Cheeky Girl doesn't like him anymore, and he increasingly resembles a man on suicide watch.
Party faithful think he's a dead man walking, and he seems about as popular in Sheffield as Hitler would be at a barmitzvah.
And I wasn't making light of the Holocaust there, just in case the usual suspects are reading this, and get offended-by-proxy.

The issue that occurs to me is whether anybody would want it right now. The damage seems to be done, they're going to have a bit of a nightmare election in a year's time, and I'm not sure changing leader would do anything to change that. He is a dead man walking though - a poll in Sheffield suggested he might even lose his seat.

Letter in the DT today about an American senator who lost his seat in '66. He said: The people have spoken - the bastards!
The only way I can see the LibDems even beginning to be taken seriously again is for Clegg, Alexander, Cable and all the others who put their 15 minutes above what the party stood for, to resign from the party.
Incidentally, is there a record of who exactly within the party hierarchy, voted to form the coalition? I'm assuming there was some sort of vote. Is there a public record of who was for and who against?
Or even who was involved in the decision making?
