It has come to light that the Liberal Democrats in Sheffield,(where Nick Clegg is MP) are airbrushing Nick Clegg out of their leaflets. I think that this shows how hated Nick Clegg is within the country, and within his Constituency for Sheffield Liberal Democrats to take this move. In order to try and save votes.
I think that in light of this a long with a Liberal Democrat Councillor writing to Nick Clegg to warn him to pull out of the collision because he feared that the LibDems are going to lose tons of Council seats. Shows the thoughts by some of the people within their party. It is obvious that some libdems are not happy with what Nick Clegg has done, and I believe that even if the collision manages to last until September when Party Conferences happen. That there will be a vote of no confidence against him. It doesn’t help with some LibDem MP’s defending what they have done within this collision by saying we haven’t been in power for 65 years, and before the election we could make policy that we knew we could never carry through because we knew we wouldn’t be elected. However now that we are in power, we need to make sure that we do whatever possible to stay there.
So basically saying that they are power hungry and have no morals.
Another thing in the news this week is that Norman Lamb MP, one of Nick Clegg’s advisor’s, is considering resigning over the NHS reform, if they cannot get the Health Profession onside. Realising that it is not going to work if Doctors Nurses etc are not happy to co-operate with it.
It has also been in the News today that Gillian Duffy (the woman called a bigot by Gordon Brown during the General Election campaign) asked Nick Clegg, if he was happy with the policies being made within this collision. When he gave a response of “the government was taking tough decisions in order to cut the UK’s deficit” She blatantly told him that is the same speech you gave a hour ago.
I think that all of these (and probably loads more in the news) shows that it is only time before this Collision and Nick Clegg crumble to the ground. I seriously hope that it does, and that we have another election soon.
