Nick Clegg out :(

[RangeTesKopeks]

So sad that he lost his seat. Really liked him.

I remember him saying (on the radio/interview?) that he was so upset about coalition that he'd wake up crying. :(

I used to do that when I was severely depressed. Made me feel for him massively.

He lied about putting up student fees & "stabbed" his brother in the back over the leadership of the LD. That's why I'm glad.

And you're fine to be glad, that's okay.

But why come and gloat on a thread where people are upset?

Ye Gods. Never mind.

Great response

Indeed totally bizarre .

I look forward to seeing him on Strictly Come Dancing!

" "stabbed" his brother in the back over the leadership of the LD. That's why I'm glad."

Are you sure you're thinking of the right person?

Are you sure you're thinking of the right person?

Yes, wasn't that the Miliband brothers? Who were Labour. I know they both begin with 'L' but...

Ummm, steam, are you not confusing him with Ed Milliband?

I'm really sorry to hear that for Nick Clegg too. As PP said, he will be a huge loss to Parliament and LD party and he has done a great deal of good- it seems obvious now that when the LDs were in coalition they protected the country from the Tories as best they could.

Good riddance. He couldn't have been surprised. One of the most egregious failures of principle and turnarounds on party policy I've seen in a lot of years. Without that coalition agreement the Tories couldn't have done as much damage to this country as they have.

I'm sorry to see Clegg's loss too. I hope that he finds a meaningful role in public life (not just booted into the Lords, though in due course he should head in that direction). I still hanker after my multi-party Brexit negotiating team, and he would be an excellent addition to that (along with Keir Starmer and Ruth Davidson)

Hope he sees this thread. I think he was a good'un too

Clegg one of those rare things, a politician i liked!

It's sad to lose him. I've always liked him.

I'm gutted and he looked gutted though. But yes, hopefully he will come back next time.

Poor Nick. I understand why they went Labour, but they've lost a really good man.

Gutted for him. I hope he's able to pick up something good instead. Poor bloke looked broken.

He's paying the price for tuition fees I feel. There are two universities in his constituency I believe. The Scottish Lib dems delivered on that promise in coalition in Scotland. He didn't get anywhere near enough concessions from the Tories. Rightly or wrongly, he is seen as responsible for that. History will be a bit kinder and remember the good as well. But like Lloyd George in doing some good (not enough imo) he destroyed his party for the foreseeable future.

. I hope he sees this thread too. I like his wife as well.

I have been the kiss of death in this election. At some point during this long night I decided I fancied Nick Clegg.

I'm sad abour Nick Clegg and Vince Cable. I really thought people would realise what a good MP Vince Cable was and re elect him. Im really surprised about Nick Clegg too. Glad LD's got a few more seats but hoping for more.

Did Vince not get in? :(

I'll miss Nick and his beautiful face.
