Resignation?

Acrylic-bob · 12-12-2011, 16:59

Nick Clegg was conspicuous by his absence for the PM's statement. Is he on the road to the Job Centre?

Paddy Power has cut the odds of his resignation from 33/1 this morning to 12/1 now.

Forget it A-B, he knows damn well,this is the only time in his life he will ever get near to power.

Yes, Cashy....I think so too....maybe he is just doing the thing that three year olds are good at.....sulking in the corner and sucking his thumb.
Now what kind of leader would he make.......... really?

11 out of 10 for that! Very good.
That is the kind of power I would like to see him in.

There are those who would prefer him being in a chair, connected to the power

That too would be good....not enough to fry him, just enough to make him jerk about a bit, to maybe alter his brain paterns a little....after all he would just be true to form....a jerk.
Oh no, I forgot, he can't be a jerk...he has to be a creep!

Ya no Margaret I get this feeling you don't actually like politicians

How very perceptive of you John.

I would like them more if they stopped treating us like we, the electorate, didn't have two brain cells between all of us....if they could tell us something that approximated to the truth.
Isn't it in the news today that the FSA have spilled the beans about the fall of RBS....and the part played in that fiasco by Blair, Brown, and Balls...strange that isn't it?...Wouldn't you have thought the northern and southern redcoats would have something to say on that score....but then agaain they would be telling us that the FSA only told us that to get themselves off the hook....despite the fact that they have freely admitted that the FSA was also to blame.

Oh give C'Mon a chance, I'm sure he'll be putting a link on for use about this report by the FSA, won't he

.

Or is Nick Clegg more politically wise than people give him credit for ?

Was it his ploy to take some of the attention off David Cameron ?

Nick Clegg would have realised that he was giving ammunition to the Labour Party and making some Conservatives , not least David Cameron , feel a little uneasy by his absence .

Margaret Pilkington · 13-12-2011, 11:54

No, I don't think he is anywhere near as wise as you perhaps think.
Personally, I think he was doing a three year olds trick...sulking.
I also think that he is beginning to realise how tenuous his hold is on the (deputy) leadership........If the coalition falls apart he would most definitely be the loser.
Perhaps EON might give him a job knocking on doors.

cashman · 13-12-2011, 11:56

The only thing Clegg is wise about,is knowing which side his breads buttered.imho.

I think you may have a point there - either that or he was too busy trying to clean up -egg is terribly hard to get off your face....
