SocraticGadfly: Nick Clegg, sellout?

Nick Clegg, sellout?

Any talks the LibDem leader had planned with Labour officials must have been perfunctory, if even conducted. Labour leader and PM Gordon Brown has stepped up his resignation to be effective immediately, with Clegg's Lib Dems and David Cameron's Tories allegedly forming a coalition.

I hope the LibDem rank and file takes an immediate party leadership vote and deposes Clegg. There's nothing to indicate Cameron improved his original offering to Clegg.

If you didn't want to coalition with Labour, you didn't have to enter a formal coalition with the Tories. Just agree not to oppose the budget, if not egregious.
