yes and no. I don’t think Clegg sold out anymore than any other UK politician on either side of the divide. e.g. Blair and friends.
But Clegg’s demeanour does have something distinctly European, non-adversarial about it. He is far less skilled in the fine arts of posturing than the rest, and English voters love their Farage…
In summary, I wish Charles Kennedy could have tamed his demon. UK politics would have been different. Also why do all the good ones die? Mo Mowlan, Robin Cook did bring some integrity and intellectual rigour to the sell out that was the Labour Party
