Will the real Nick Clegg please stand up......

There is something about Nick Clegg that I'm not sure I like. I am more or less certain he has Lib Dem interests at heart, but sometimes it crosses your mind that it might just be Nick Clegg's interests which come first.
He has taken to the role of  Deputy Prime Minister like a duck to water. But he shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the 2010 election results hardly point to his being a wildly successful leader. We lost five seats, down from 62 to 57. Our share of the vote was 23% up just one percent from 22% in the 2005 Election. In that 2005 election when Kennedy was the leader, Lib Dem seats rose from 52 to 62 and our share of the vote rose from 18.2% to 22%
Charlie Kennedy may have had his flaws with the ciggies, booze et al. but he was a warm, transparent human guy. Nick seems to be covered with a clear plastic coating like a new piece of furniture.  I find myself often wondering what he really thinks, but there will be no open mike in Nick's new ministerial car....he is too clever by half a coalition for that.
