I don’t think Nick Clegg talking to Gillian Duffy as if she’s really stupid really helped the nature of this conversation. I have never understood why Clegg is so compelled to form a coalition which ever party has the most seats, as he could have called another election; what we have now is incredibly unstable, and it’s as if Clegg has no idea what his party’s policies are, but he just wants power.

We’ll see whether this was the right approach in the May elections.
