To miss nick Clegg and the coalition

[Slutbucket]

The Tories are in disarray and they don't just seem to have got their act together since the election. How many budgets have not gone to plan and had to be rewritten since the election. I know they list confidence over the tuition fees but they went into the coalition for the best of the country.?where do we see that at the moment?

Shit I know how nick feels now!

Seems like a lifetime ago.

I miss Nick Clegg and the coalition in much the same way that I miss the galloping Athlete's Foot that I used to have! YABU

I bet Dave does too! Coalition was perfect for the moderate cons; it shielded them from the worst of their own and the Lib Dems were on the whole a cooperative bunch. Look what's happened now

I miss them too...

I thought the Lib Dems got an unfair hammering at the last election. Times would have been harder without their influence.

They did not support such a referendum in the previous parliament.

I've missed them since the last election. The bastard Tories needed them to keep them in check. If Nick hadn't agreed to the increase in. Tuition fees, I think there'd still be a coalition, the they woueknt have had a referendum.

Bring back Nick.

I think George isnourne is missing Danny Alexander too. The last budget and autumn statement have been a bit of a shambles.

I hate to say it but YANBU.

I'd forgotten all about Danny Alexander.

I miss them too.

Yep, YANBU. I think the Lib Dems were very unfairly punished last year; history will judge them a bit more kindly, I suspect, and the wiping-out of the the parliamentary Lib Dem party has been pretty disastrous. Right now, more than ever, we need a pro-Europe centre-left option and the Lib Dems used to be that.

I would be interested in some kind of partnership between the moderate centre-left faction of the Labour Party and the rump of the Lib Dems.

Nick would have been a good voice to have in the Remain campaign as a genuinely passionate Europhile. They obviously decided that the drubbing of 2015 was too recent and that he was too toxic.

A bit off track, but I just had a quick google and discovered that Danny Alexander is now "Sir Danny Alexander"! I missed that one...

I also think the Lib Dems got an unfair kicking. I quite liked coalition government. It's only since it ended that I think we can truly appreciate that the Lib Dems did hold back the worst of the Conservative policies.

He wrote a piece for the financial times and basically predicted the first three after Brexit. Tim fallon seems to talk sense when I've seen him and seems nice. (Not enough nice politicians.)

I'm glad about Danny Alexander getting an honour. He deserves it. He was the one wheeled out when George osbourne wanted to do a disappearing act!

Ive always voted Lib Dem, I know people usually take the piss but I think moderation is the key to everything, including politics.

Clegg would have been great in this campaign.

His predictions for post-Brexit were spot on. Some wit on my Facebook is calling him Mystic Clegg

I want Clegg back too

There should be a referendum on this. Shall we bring Nick Clegg back? That's a yes from me.

No not really. They turned tory just for a seat at the top table.

Many politicians lie. We've seen plenty of that in the last few weeks from both sides. Nick Clegg is up there with the worst of them IMO.

Admittedly I will have two at university come September so maybe that colours my judgement.

Nick Clegg went into the coalition for the benefit of Nick Clegg. It's partly because of people like him that no-one believes politicians any more. Which is why we're now in this shitstorm.

So no thanks.

YANBU.

I am going to join the lib dens today
