Had this opportunist & back-stabber not entered into a coalition with the Tories, David Cameron would have been forced to lead a minority Tory government. This is what the public actually voted for. David Cameron would probably have been sacked as party leader because of his poor performance at the election. Thank you Nick Clegg for helping the party you really support when it counted most and sticking two fingers up at the electorate who never gave you a mandate to have political power anyway.
@WGOAnimationStudio You are far too generous to NC. He sold out his party and principles at the slightest hint of political power. He sold out all those people who voted LDem to keep the Tories out, remember tactical voting? The man hasn't a shred of altrusim or honesty. The honest thing to do would have been to let the Tories govern in a minority govt because that is what the electorate ACTUALLY VOTED FOR. NC is finished in politics and so are the LDems as a party. He's an opportunist.
@WGOAnimationStudio Thank you for saying that this coalition was not democratic. The SDP split the electorate back in the 80s to keep the Tories in power, is it any wonder that the Lib Dems lead by Tory boy Clegg did a deal with them now. The Lib Dems will be wiped out because of this coalition, no more tactical votes for them you must agee. If Clegg had shown some loyalty to his own party he could have joined a Lab shadow coalition & got a govt job next time round after Cameron screwed up.
@WGOAnimationStudio The Lib Dems did not have a mandate from the electorate. Nobody voted for a coalition, the honest thing to do would have been to form a coalition before being elected. Not many people would have voted for it but it would have been honest.
if he didnt do the coalition thing then his party wouldn't have a say at all. At least he's trying to make his party's voice heard.
There lies the problem with british people. You're so god damn stuck up yourselves that you wouldn't even consider maybe giving up some dignity in order to push yourselves forward.
Please consider the following: Means testing all Social Benefits is a priority for solving social problems. The Family allowance should be the first benefit to be means tested, and then progressively means testing other benefits.
The Family unit also needs to be protected from Abuse, Incest and other socially related problems. Monitoring children from birth to 16 years of age should be the prime objective of all worldwide Governments.
A fairer Britain? Would that include a Britain where you vote for a budget that penalises poorer people? Where you slash winter fuel bonuses for older people or introduce 20% VAT that penalises those on lower incomes. I'm glad you've gone into coalition with your public schoolboy Tory friends because it will be the end of the self-righteous, sanctimonius, pious hypocrites that you Fib Dems are and always have been. This is the end for your party Nicky boy - enjoy!
I can't explain how pleased I was when I woke up on May 7th to find that the Liberal Democrats had lost some seats. It wiped the smile off his smug little face.
so nick. how does it feel being the lap dog of david cameron. also you two have just twisted hell on its side. how can two parties which mean totally different things form a coalition. i'm pretty sure a lib-labour coalition would make far more sense, than the well basically tory party, because thats all it is now!
Your building that farier Britain - When you realise your lap dog thats given the Tories a free ticket and your either ejected from govt or run out in shame hows about your apply for thhe job of Sherrif of Nottingham?
Of course its understandable that people are upset about the lib con coalition. But people who voted for liberal to keep out the tories I think are being a bit naive. If the liberals didn't make a coalition with the tories, what would we have? A tory minority government with no real might that would probably end up with an election in 6 months. I just hope that the liberals become the conservative moral compass. I believe in you Nick!
Good luck Nick. You're going to need it. Holding the coalition together, and holding your own party together, is going to be one hell of challenge.
Personally I couldn't care less about the latter, but our country faces some really difficult choices in the coming months and years. The hopes of the liberal left, and thus the majority of the UK, now rest with your party's influence in cabinet. Like it or not Labour voters, that's the reality.
I never trusted the SDP, they were opportunists and traitors to the Labour Party who helped the Tories to stay in power until 1997 and be replaced by New Labour, a watered-down Tory administration. The way the media hyped this Clegg person was nauseating, the Tories knew they might not win outright, the media hyped Clegg and the prospect of power-sharing was talked about long ago. The only person to emerge with any credibility was Gordon Brown, he didn't actually do too badly.
I thought the Lib Dems were starting to become a serious political party with serious policies where the constitution says that nobody should live in poverty. Do they still stand by their policies and constitution, or have they sold out so that nobody will take them seriously again?
I voted the Lib Dems so the Conservatives won't get into power. Not to help them. I don't want to go back to the days where VAT was raised while public services were run into the grouond and people had to wait years on the NHS. I thought the Lib Dems are for a fair society where nobody lives in poverty, so will they now go along with all the evil things that the Conservatives do to the British people? I don't understand if the Lib Dems have sold out for some power?
Do Lib Dems the real voters really agree with this?Are you really at comfortable proping up Tory policies?
Vince Cable have you sold out on your ecconomic beliefs?
Nick Clegg were you really that desperate to be noticed that you sold out your entire party just for a token offer?
I won't be voting Lib Dem again this is not why i voted for you and if i had believed you would have ever done this i would have voted Labour as would many more of us.
What a crazy country England is lol,The party with the least amount of votes out of the three main party's,gets to be deputy pm ,Fuck you nick i hope Lib dems loses all there supporters.
we now have pink and perky running the country ,i not decided whos who yet :P
Thank you Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems. I am ashamed to have voted for you now and I thoroughly regret it and you will never be getting my vote again. We give you our support and in return we get a stab in the back? Thanks a bunch!
I really liked this party but now I see the error of my ways. Enjoy being the Tories lap dog!!
@STOPTHEEU Yeah but even though I'm angry at what the Lib Dems did, I'd still never vote UKIP. I like being a part of Europe. Plus, I'm too left wing to ever switch that way.
@fuschiadreams We are not suggesting that we leave Europe.
Europe and the EU are very very different. I personally feel that the EU is destroying all the great cultures and traditions of Europe.
They just want to create a super state.
You say your left wing? Well we are not right wing. We are more or less central. No matter what wing you are the EU is bad. Democracy is the most important aspect of our nation/continent. The EU is anti-democracy.
Ladies and gentlemen i give you the Tory deputy prime minister Mr Nick Clegg I really feel sorry for you liberal democrat voters you have been totally betrayed by your leader Nick tory boy Clegg Come join Labour and start the fight back
Thanks for nothing Nick. It's as if the Tory's never left. I hate to think what this future conservative govenment are going to do. I hope it's not the 1980' early 1990's all over again. Cheers mate.
Well, Nick - you have completely ruined the Liberal Democratic Party for myself and all my friends and colleagues. To join with the Conservatives when 90% of LD supporters consider themselves to be radical, left-of-centre and progressive is a complete stab in the back. I wonder if we will get more than 8% in the next opinion poll. You absolute IDIOT!!!
I voted for this wanker. Never thought he would stab me in the back and join the conservatives . You won't get my vote in future Clegg. Hope this kills your party.
be a principled government not like the conservative, force marriage to the conservation is a suicidal attempt. Conservative is now squadling to offer Ref on AV after gordon brown step down talked yesterday, even this policy is not in their manifesto. this is a desperate attempt by the conservative to have a force coalition. Personally, I voted the progressive government LIB.
I voted for our Lib Dem MP partly because I did not want the conservatives in power (voting for Labour seemed a waste since they had no chance of winning in Cambridge partly because of Brown). A coalition with Conservatives - rather Labour - would be such a damning indication that the party I voted for is more interested in navigating shallow Politics than championing a deeper Philosophy of fairness for all.
What a bunch of self serving creeps you Lib Dems are....holding the country to ransom by demanding a voting system that will guarantee what you want out of every election - power without responsibility. Step aside and let the responsible adults govern.
Now they've joined the conservatives I do not think the electoral reform will be any good because people might start turning their backs on this lot now.
It is incredulous how the Liberal Democrats, who came last, can dictate who they form a coalition with - something is seriously wrong with our system.
Why you would want to get in bed with Labour who are responsible for 80,000+ deaths in Iraq is beyond me - obviously not a party of principles. Labour squandered our taxes and have only just woken up to environmental issues and job creations possible in the green sector.
Mandlesson's a slime-ball, I wouldn't trust him far as I could throw him.
Thanks Mr Clegg for holding the whole Country to ransom for your own selfish party benefit! Well done mate nice one! forget about the people of this Country and the dire economic trouble we are in. They obviously don't matter a hoot! only the flipping "pr voting system" matters, yes thats the most importing thing in the Universe!! For God sake!!! Get off your high horses and do the right thing for once!!
LETS ALL VOTE FOR ANOTHER TERM, FOR YET ANOTHER UNELECTED PM
Britain is FUCKED we might as all leave the Country now and become another country's Immigration problem .We are finished if Labour get another term in power Baron Mandelson is pulling all the strings with his bum bandit mate Campbell just look what you're doing to our country ..Put your Country FIRST not your BLOODY CAREERS
@onwebcameron - when will people realise what the libs are all about. I cant wait till the libs are on the government benches getting dogs abuse amidst public worker disputes. In the early part of the 20th century they tried to bring in weak social legislation to stave off increasing popular labour support- FACT
Clegg is as dopey eyed as he looks, deluded by self vanity and false promises. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame, because that is all the Tories will allow you.
Then you and your party will be blamed for all that follows including the forthcoming Iran war, and no election reforms.
This infatuation with Cameron and late night pizza sharing, is bordering on a schoolboy crush, I cannot think what political common ground you both share, only similar personal backgrounds.
Nick clegg is considering the thirty pieces of silver being offered to him by David Cameron who is funded by billionaire Lord Ashcroft. Are Nick Clegg And David Cameron fighting or playing in the bath?
Your comment is not spam. No doubt this channel plays the same tricks as webcameronuk, they'll block us next, they are not interested in public opinion. Clegg is in awe of Cameron I think, as he appears to be a lesser version. He will wipe his party off the political map and himself also for a bit of political limelight and vanity. The Lib Dem, lucky dip voters deserve another election. Then they can vote knowing the Lib Dem vote is a vote to let the Tories in, not another scenario.
Nick and all the other Lib Dem MP's are you completely stupid? Do a deal with the Cons and you have shafted the very people who voted for your party. Next election your party will suffer badly. Please don't screw those who voted for you by joining with the Cons. That's going to be the biggest kick in the head for all of us voters. Use your head Nick, do a deal with Labour and get the voting reforms needed so next election your party will be in a better position.
I voted Lib Dems to keep out the Conservative ass hole Cameron. If the Lib Dems do a deal with Dave then next time I will vote Labour. Lib Dems wake up, your pissing your voters off big time !
I know, many of my friends did the same, they feel they have been made mugs, they were all but promised a Lib Dem vote would count, 'this time, honest!' as usual, no way.
Right they have a mythical bird as their emblem, they are away with the fairies and not in this world.
Four years of strikes, bad economy, Tory in-fighting, (which has started already, with Cameron criticised, by the tradional Tories), and social unrest. The result afterwards a new Labour Government. If the Lib Dems still exist, it won't be with Clegg as leader, he's playing at politics. What a waste of time, for one man's ,(Clegg's), vanity. 1 second ago

He's a corporate guy employed in a company called "Parliament", or in the "Parliament" division of an unnamed company or group of companies. His degree at Bruges was probably a "govt MBA". Revoke his position, now.
Wake up Dem voters! Don't you read Wikipedia? ... I looked up Clegg on wiki... "His father, Nicholas Clegg CBE, is chairman of United Trust Bank,[1] and is a trustee of The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation,[2] where Ken Clarke was an advisor..." Fire him now, before he can decide. He's probably a CIA plant anyway.
At last, Clegg exposed for what most people on the centre left always knew him to be; an opportunistic Tory wolf in Lib Dem sheep's clothing. Oh!! Well!! One oily used car salesman supporting a dodgy estate agent. God help us.
@daubreyjaneweirdsley yup... Wake up Dem voters! Don't you read Wikipedia? ... I looked up Clegg on wiki... "His father, Nicholas Clegg CBE, is chairman of United Trust Bank,[1] and is a trustee of The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation,[2] where Ken Clarke was an advisor..." Fire him now, before he can decide. He's probably a CIA plant anyway.
Shame, you have taken peoples votes and are misrepresenting them, for what I can only think are personal career motives. Cameron and yourself may look right as a pair of lustre ware dogs either side of a mantelpiece, but we want substance, content, not hollow façades. Stop the vanity and work with Brown, it may not be easy for you, but you will learn far more than you ever will from Cameron. It looks to me like you still need to learn quite a lot .
@onwebcameron he's the same... Wake up Dem voters! Don't you read Wikipedia? ... I looked up Clegg on wiki... "His father, Nicholas Clegg CBE, is chairman of United Trust Bank,[1] and is a trustee of The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation,[2] where Ken Clarke was an advisor..." Fire him now, before he can decide.
Yes he has betrayed the Liberals to 'fag' for another. more powerful public schoolboy millionaire. Pitiful to watch really, and he shouldn't put personal career moves above his party.
@onwebcameron Nick clegg is considering the fourty pieces of silver being offered to him by David Cameron who is funded by billionaire Lord Ashcroft. Are Nick Clegg And David Cameron fighting or playing in the bath?
Cameron and perhaps even yourself have trivialised politics and the election. Cameron has led a negative campaign on You Tube especially with some of the most blatant video propaganda seen in politics since the second world war. Coupled with gimmicks, reasonable sounding but intangible promises, (eg, 'big society'). Stop being so 'noble' and do what is in your heart for the day to day running of this country. I'd rather live without PR, than see the Tories in for four years. Think!
2) (cont) You are vain and naive if you think the pitiful amount of seats you obtained were all as a result of your personality or policies. Many of my friends are furious they voted Liberal for a possible Lib-Lab pact, to end up with the Tories. The Liberals might as well not have existed. You have cheated many of us by effectively backing an unjust and potentially devastating party for this country. You should bury your pers0nal differences and talk to Labour and Gordon Brown. (CONT)
@onwebcameron The pitiful amount of seats we obtained are down to the seat/vote ratio not being fair. If your friends are furious that they voted Lib for a possible Lib-Lab pact then you need to realise that we don't vote for pacts. Vote for who you want to govern. If no-one gets a majority (which is what we've got) then we either keep having General Elections until someone wins (unlikely) or the parties have to talk to each other.
I know the procedure. Just the choice of alliance is surprising, so not wholly fair on the electorate. The press and the BBC hyped up Clegg's appeal thinking that for once they may actually be real contenders. The actual results show that the public didn't buy that. So I maintain you were used also as a tactical vote. 'We don''t vote for pacts', well you certainly don't vote to win. The best chance of reform is an alliance with Labour, the Tories are not for that.
1) You won't have any say with a Tory alliance, you will be merely making up the numbers, supposedly because you believe this will bring about a stable government. But with their policies further from yours than Labour, this 'honourable' or 'naive' stance is wrong. You must think tactfully, like your voters. Many voted for you not because they thought you had good policies, but as a Labour protest, and not wanting a Tory government at any cost. (cont...)
Wake up Dem voters! Don't you read Wikipedia? ... "His father, Nicholas Clegg CBE, is chairman of United Trust Bank,[1] and is a trustee of The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation,[2] where Ken Clarke was an advisor..."
Fire him now, before he can "deicide", an accidental but accurate misprint there
If Herr Hameron can make a deal with Herr Cloebells of the Lib Dems, then there will be a new Nazi government in der Britische Isles, the first since Frau Thatchler.
if you join a Lib-con pact i hope you buy yourself a decent knife proof jacket as you will need one due to the amount of times you will get stabbed in the back
I did my bit, and voted you. I hope you do your bit and do not deal with the Tories!Many of the LIB DEMs voters including my family definitely did not wish their votes bring the Tories in power! And if you make a deal with the Tories you will lose those votes in FUTURE.

If you ask me mr clegg u sold us all BS with your election...I cant Believe your going to be Camerons poodle I will never VOTE LIB DEM AGAIN... You made out to us all you was diffrent...YOUR just like the rest...!!!!! BS!!!!!
Nick, if you form a gov. with the tories, your party will be wiped out from Scotland at the next election. Scotland will end up with 2 party politics....SNP and Labour.
Dont do it Nick, the tories are the tories....they have not moved on from Thatcher.
although we didnt win it, thank you nick clegg for giving us that third option. if it was for the lib dems i probably wouldnt have voted as id rather not vote at all and keep a clear conscience thant vote for the other two parties and be kicking myself for it. good luck with your negotiations!
@Spears646 this was a tactical move by the lib dems. nick clegg knows that he has the power right now to make the hung parliment go one way or the other and hes using that to negotiate with the tories so that at least some of our beliefs prevail. remember, if the tories had simply won this election then nick and the lib dems would have absolutely no say in the way the country is run at all. trust me and trust his judgement, he knows what hes doing
@trema006 I didnt vote for them to help conservatives and to help their policies. Libdems are idealogically closer to Labour, it goes against my vote.
@TheTVLicence i hope you wont regret voting for tories/labour, after all they both have a history of repeating the same mistakes and breaking promises. good luck with keeping a clear conscience
hope the libdems will do a deal with the tory. it is perfectly obvious that labour lost 90+ seats, meaning they lost the confidence. i really salute nick clegg for keeping his words. I am a tory, and I definitely don't agree with libdems policy on europe and immigration, but I do think we need reform on the voting system, but not PR (I can't imagine UK being permanently in hung parliament like NZ or Germany). Perhaps something like australia (2nd preference system)?
@wtanoto why dont you think the voting system should be changed? i think a fair few people in leeds and sheffield would disagree with you on that one having been refused their vote.
one of the reasons people dont vote for parties that they really want to win is because they think it will be a "wasted vote" which under the current system is true. i voted for lib dem, labour won the majority in my area. therefore my vote practicaly doesnt exist which is totally unfair.
im sorry about what's happened =( everyone gave you so much support but didn't put it to good use. i think now is the time to make that deal with the conservative's mainly because if you both work together you will get some of the results you want heck its better than no results at all.
Hey Clegg: noone wants to see this, especially not your voters, present or future:
News Flash

"Praisident von Queenenbattenburg has invited Herr Hameron, Fuhrer of the National Socialist Conservativen Partei, to form ein meinority government. Reichsproganda Minister Borif Goenson will be Deputy Fuhrer."

@anijijapan1975 i feel the same :( our only hope is that clegg can strike a deal with either of the 2 leading parties so that the voting system can be changed. at the moment i think alot of people feel as if they have no voice which seems very undemocratic on this country's part. a change in the system should see more people voting for other parties and ensure that its not all gonna be tories/conservative.
Scotland is very disappointing with you. Tory is hung.
Tory has no mandate in Scotland at all and even in Northern Ireland therefore cameron has no majority mandate to govern as a whole. It's unfair for the two countries to be governed by the Tory who won only seats in England.
Labour and Liberal Coalition at least have shared almost similar moral values, principles and policies.
Nick when it comes to a Hung parliament PLEASE don't let the conservatives sway you with their lies of a fairer government. The only way forward in this country is a parliament that is run via free speech, democracy and most importantly transparency.
If we didn't believe you would do what you say, we wouldn't have voted for you. Please have the same respect for us.
@SegaFanClub If votes matter as you say, the Conservatives have the right to govern. Or is the right to govern only held by the party *you* voted for? As one of the purple protesters said today when asked if Cameron deserved to lead the country given his win by 2.1 million over the second place party in the popular vote: "No, because I voted LibDem!".
@powderfinger555 well as a matter of fact if there was a clear majority party we would already be in a Conservative Government, and of course, I could do nothing about it.
However as no party has enough votes to step directly into power, it is important that Nick does not forget his roots just to jump into the power seat.
Also, as a Lib Dem voter, it should be fairly obvious to you that I was resigned to the fact that the Lib Dems weren't going to win before the election even started.
@powderfinger555 Everyone I know who voted either Labour OR Lib Dem did so to keep the Tory Rat Pack out of power, if you look at the statistics, the reason the Lib Dems get to choose who gets in to power should be obvious.
If the Tories got 36% of the vote that means perspectively 64% of the country voted other parties so that the conservatives would not get in, now with this information would it be fair to simply let them rule with only a minority of the population actually voting for them?
@SegaFanClub He's a corporate guy employed in a company called "Parliament", or in the "Parliament" division of an unnamed company or group of companies. His degree at Bruges was probably a "govt MBA". Revoke his position, now.
lol i waited till 9pm before i went to vote as i didnt want to wait in line,turns out i didnt need to as only few hundred people voted on my estate of thousands. :(
the exit poll is BS. if we get over 25% yet less than one in ten seats it would be a huge middle finger to democracy. however i still think we'll amount to more seats than they're projecting, GO LIBDEMS!!!
Nick you need to strengthen yourself in the locals first people just dont want tories in where i am so they vote labour because of how many seats they are but would love to vote lib dems!!
Woo I turned 18 recently, today was my first election, most people in my age group are voting Lib Dem! The young generation want a change :D good luck Nick! :)
@2replybiz - I admit that I don't know much about politics and of course can't remember the last Tory rule, 13 years ago but I do know who Thatcher was ^_^
@SeeraAi She took the milk from the over sevens in 1971 as a minister and closed the mines in the early 80s as PM. She also warped the moral fabric of the UK with a greed culture which didn't previously exist. She also conned the public into buying utilities which were already publicly-owned. Selling off the council houses is one of the reasons why there is almost no cheap housing these days.
We had a pretend school election and I voted Lib Dem! Unfortunately the ones who matter, my mum and dad, didn't have the same view as me ha ha.. Best of luck, anyway :).

The way the media hyped this Clegg person was nauseating, the Tories knew they might not win outright, the media hyped Clegg and the prospect of power-sharing was talked about long ago. The only person to emerge with any credibility was Gordon Brown, he didn't actually do too badly.

I thought the Lib Dems were starting to become a serious political party with serious policies where the constitution says that nobody should live in poverty. Do they still stand by their policies and constitution, or have they sold out so that nobody will take them seriously again?

I voted the Lib Dems so the Conservatives won't get into power. Not to help them. I don't want to go back to the days where VAT was raised while public services were run into the grouond and people had to wait years on the NHS. I thought the Lib Dems are for a fair society where nobody lives in poverty, so will they now go along with all the evil things that the Conservatives do to the British people? I don't understand if the Lib Dems have sold out for some power?

I know the procedure. Just the choice of alliance is surprising, so not wholly fair on the electorate. The press and the BBC hyped up Clegg's appeal thinking that for once they may actually be real contenders. The actual results show that the public didn't buy that. So I maintain you were used also as a tactical vote. 'We don''t vote for pacts', well you certainly don't vote to win. The best chance of reform is an alliance with Labour, the Tories are not for that.

@powderfinger555 well as a matter of fact if there was a clear majority party we would already be in a Conservative Government, and of course, I could do nothing about it.
However as no party has enough votes to step directly into power, it is important that Nick does not forget his roots just to jump into the power seat.
Also, as a Lib Dem voter, it should be fairly obvious to you that I was resigned to the fact that the Lib Dems weren't going to win before the election even started.

@powderfinger555 Everyone I know who voted either Labour OR Lib Dem did so to keep the Tory Rat Pack out of power, if you look at the statistics, the reason the Lib Dems get to choose who gets in to power should be obvious.
If the Tories got 36% of the vote that means perspectively 64% of the country voted other parties so that the conservatives would not get in, now with this information would it be fair to simply let them rule with only a minority of the population actually voting for them?

the exit poll is BS. if we get over 25% yet less than one in ten seats it would be a huge middle finger to democracy. however i still think we'll amount to more seats than they're projecting, GO LIBDEMS!!!

@SeeraAi Yeah, well you're both too young to remember the last Tory administration, look up Thatcher while you're about it.

@2replybiz - I admit that I don't know much about politics and of course can't remember the last Tory rule, 13 years ago but I do know who Thatcher was ^_^
Closed the mines and took the milk! XD

@SeeraAi She took the milk from the over sevens in 1971 as a minister and closed the mines in the early 80s as PM. She also warped the moral fabric of the UK with a greed culture which didn't previously exist. She also conned the public into buying utilities which were already publicly-owned. Selling off the council houses is one of the reasons why there is almost no cheap housing these days.

We had a pretend school election and I voted Lib Dem! Unfortunately the ones who matter, my mum and dad, didn't have the same view as me ha ha.. Best of luck, anyway :).
