  • 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).

  • 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
