Neil Clark: If you think the Lib Dem leader is struggling now, just wait for next month’s party conference.
Nothing fails like success; nothing is so defeated as yesterday's triumphant cause. The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Phyllis McGinley wasn't writing about Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats when she penned those lines - but they sum up perfectly what has happened to Britain's third party and its leader since its breakthrough election 'success' in May.
Then the champagne corks were popping, as the Liberals entered a peacetime British government for the first time since the 1930s. Three months on and it's a very different story.

Since when does answering a question directly equate to showing signs of pressure?
Clegg has been doing these Q & A things for years... and always just like this.
The response to the question regarding how many women he has slept with does not seem like bragging but an awkward answer to a very odd question. That doesn't excuse his politics, just that one question and answer.
Hooray! Somebody else shares my taste for reading Phyllis McGinley!
There is something evil going on in the world and it is not easy to identify the problem. But it is to do with the New World Order, the setup of which involves a series of regime changes which are brought about in diverse ways, such as; destruction followed by rebuilding, (the cost is irrelevant), Micro and Macro economics put a predicable number of people out of work. It is mainly determined by money and who controls it. The political system was the first to go; the adversary system has changed from adversary between government parties to adversary between all parties and the people. My understanding of Common Wealth is where the people own every thing. It is time for England to wake up to the fact that it is no longer a Common Wealth but rather a Common Dept.
