Cheers.
The people slagging Clegg off are obviously the one's who would rather he had sided with Labour at the time to make a minority government in the middle of the biggest economic disaster to strike the Western World. Rounding off the biggest excesses of the Tories and introducing things such as the pupil premium, gay marriage, raising the tax threshold for low earners, etc in the middle of huge turmoil for the country.
But he and the Party will be vilified by Corbyn because of that decision, I caught plenty of the barbs during the run up to the election. Tuition fees are big news in my household but so is the knowledge that Labour introduced them and the tories increased them. The LDs said that they wouldn't increase them if elected and they weren't elected. Please remind me of the tory promises during the last election, death taxes etc.
Clegg actually earned this Honour (if it's true) rather than being a master barber or a financial contributor to the party in power, things would have turned out far worse for us if he didn't fall on his sword at the time.
