I'm just LOLing at the thought of Nick Clegg going to China and telling them 'There's too many Chinese in your government.' Because too many Chinese from China is just plain wrong. See how utterly stupid that sounds? That's basically what he's saying here. There's too many white Englishmen from England in Parliment. This man is a dispicable wretch.

lib dem = British traitors. This party refuses to call for a referendum to get Britain out of the EU.

this question about diversity is RUBBISH. it is like another attempt to break society and break the government just to please a handful minority.

BYE LIB DEM. YOU JUST LOST THE BRITISH VOTE.

I expect Clegg to go to an African Country and complain "i think there are too many black in your government" or to a Japanese Parliament and tell the politicians "you need to diversify!"

LIBDEM RUBBISH

@Jeet27 I think you're forgetting that China has a native people. English ancestry comes from all over the world.

@Jeet27 We have a multicultural society. This needs to be better represented in politics.

@uatch - approximately 86% of the UK's population is white. I think that's a majority isn't it?

Too many men....

Nick Clegg burnt down a greenhouse on a drunken night out and he tells us how to behave.

it is a white country? nick clegg get the fuck out of it then

@flowerpuff2001 To be fair, you're missing the whole point. If britain is culturally diversified, why shouldn't there be cultural diversity in parliament? Your argument concerning japan or an african country are completely invalid since there, the legislative houses actually are a good representation of the people.

...and stick the microphone up your arse. To borrow a phrase from Hitchens, "If they gave Clegg an enema, you would be able to bury him in a matchbox".

Liberal idiot. Too many white men? - racist remark!!!!!! Prosecute him now!!!!!

[RedGoblinus]

@flowerpuff2001 Indeed, Lib Dems = British traitors. I had a Lib Dem zealot on my doorstep last year and he was spouting bullshit about the 'benefits' of the EU to me. Seems he was spouting the same fascist bullshit on the doorsteps of a great many other voters because he went on to lose his seat at the council election. :-)
