He's a top bloke, Labour and the media used the tuition fee storm to make the LDs appear un-trustworthy
like you say, if you look at the facts LD policy made good sense, just like their manifesto. But common sense has not value against the Tory press
-
Agree, he seems a decent bloke and appears to care, he just got out politiced by the Tory's and chewed up by the media

I've got time for Clegg.

I think I am in a minority in thinking Clegg is a good politician.
Nope. I've never understood why having to compromise on policies when entering into a coalition government is so hard to understand. Or such a bad thing.

I think I am in a minority in thinking Clegg is a good politician. I've seen him talk, and he seems decent and genuine. And when you hear the story behind tuition fees - for which he always gets savagely attacked - then you being appreciate its redistributive benefits (i.e. it was intended to reduce the implicit subsidy on late-stage education that often favours the middle class and instead invest more in the early years where it can potentially make the most difference to everyone's opportunities).
