Well the Libdems had a brief flirtation with the dizzy heights back there a couple of years ago during the election campaign. Nick Clegg was on an alltime high...the Libdems had never seen anything like it before...it was a drug filled high..and what drug was it I hear you ask....popularity thats what! And it went to their heads.
From obscurity and dinner table chatter to power at a single leap they went, and basically all because of CleggMania which had a whiff of the Tony Blair rise about it. But as we all know now, the bottom fell out of that one pretty fast.
Now I quote a bit from the article..
"The latest poll of polls for The Independent suggests that Nick Clegg could see his number of MPs reduced from 57 to 19 unless the party improves its ratings. The figure slumps to just 11 MPs when the proposed new parliamentary map is taken into account."
Oh dear! where were you when the Libdem balloon went up?
Every wednesday during Prime Ministers Questions (PMQ) we see a very sad faced Nick Clegg looking longingly into the distance...longing for the faraway hills of youth, the faraway hills of happier days when all he had to do was provide noisy opposition in The House, and dinner party chatter for the chattering classes, while getting well paid for it all too. Nobody expected too much from the Libdems and life was good then. Now in power...and being as popular as Rasputin on a black Russian night...well....fings aint what they used to be.
