As for Farage and Ukip you seem to have completely missed the point about why they were elected as the biggest party of MEP's from the UK. People who voted in those MEP elections for Ukip don't want Ukip MEP's to Co-operate with the EU, the whole point of Ukip is to get Britain out of the EU and to oppose the EU as much as possible from the inside out (which is what ukip MEP's have been doing a good job of in the European Parliament). In case it escaped your attention the clue is in the name - United Kingdom Independence Party. As someone who wants out of the EU and voted for ukip in those MEP elections I'm very happy with the performance of those ukip MEP's since they were elected. Ukip has achieved it's goal and we are now in the process of leaving the EU. A very successful outcome for a party which was formed to get the UK out of the EU has done what it set out to do. | |||

"In all honesty it is a bit of an unfair comparison, Clegg whether one likes him or agreed with his politics was elected 3 times as an MP and also twice? as an MEP.. Farage failed to be elected to Westminster, was it 7 times? maybe a better comparison for Farage would be Screaming Lord Sutch..?" Screaming Lord Sutch actively campaigned for, Lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 24 hour licensing Abolition of dog licenses Legalising commercial radio Pet passports Abolishing the 11-plus exam Pedestrianising Carnaby Street. | |||

Clegg was the key enabler of the caustic Tory policies from 2010, despite his party's blatant opposition to many such initiatives before the election. He was also the catalyst of helping to destroy his own party at the next election - they went from 58 seats down to about 8. That alone is reflective of the damage he caused - the party had offered clear choices for many voters.
Tuition fees were a complete Uturn for him. They had an election broadcast on fees that was headlined a promise. Once in power, they increased fees to £7,000 - and £9,000 for some. This guarantee that was ripped up and hell delivered to those wanting to study, shows his deficit of moral principles.
The biggest stagnation of wages for many generations was also resultant from the Libdems pursuing the coalitions imposition of hardship upon the poorer members of society, whilst enabling the better off to increase their wealth - financial inequalities soared. Some of this saw many suicides of people such as the disabled, thrown off benefits and undertaking work assessments. Tory policy that the party were complicit in implementing.
Those are but a taste of the slash and burn against the millions in this country that his party rushed to enable.
He was criticized by party grandees for rushing straight to the Conservatives to negotiate coalition, without meeting Labour who held manifesto pledges closest to theirs and thus putting the LDs in a weaker bargaining position.
I think he let his party down very badly -more so the voters who had trusted them with votes that gave the party the power to then enable implementation of very contrasting policies. He's one serious contender for helping voters to have lost trust in politicians and politics. | |||

"You didn't actually address the context or the fact that the LibDem losses were to the Conservatives not Labour. Also, why is the LD surrender of one policy (in a coalition) worse than the scores of policy reversals by the other two main parties? Why are they held to a higher standard and punished for not attaining it? The implication is that the British people wanted more of what the Conservatives were selling. It's a democratic system so out fault not his. | |||

Alas that seems how the honours go for celebrity has beens So you are saying that only people in power or "popular" should receive honours? You support cronyism?. Not particularly no. Clegg was neither a long term MP or done anything of merit though and was deselected by his own constitute.... He's actually a perfect example of cronyism, somebody with little success in his own rights but connected well enough for his grasp to be bigger than his reach
An MEP from 1999 and an MP from 2005 to 2015.
You might need to give me your definition of long term.
If you just don't like him say so, but why make assertions without backing?". Ten years? I don't call that anything like longevity, he's a public servant and a failed one at that, I just don't think he has merit for an honour | |||

"Farage.. Busy as an Mep..
Comedy feckin gold..
As for Clegg - enabler of the misery of the caustic tory policies leading to many deaths.
Clegg hadn't a backbone to stand upto cameron.
He was just in there for the prestige of deputy pm and sold out his party, principles and voters. Horrible little man!
Just to balance this out, what LD promises were delivered during that Parliament?"Good point! Letting the bastard tories into no 10 and unleashing their bastadry onto the poor, disabled and vulnerable and being Cameron's little puppet overshadows anything he did, if anything good that is | |||

"Farage nil Clegg one
At least Clegg has plenty of spare time to collect his honour now he's unemployed since his constituents in Sheffield kicked him out of his MP's job in the general election.
If Glegg gets his honour it will go down as well as Geldof's
.
two pricks the nation cannot stand"
Clegg of the "there will never be a European army"

"The government that followed the Tory/Lib dem coalition was David Cameron's Tory government elected in 2015 with a majority. The Tories had that majority until 2017 when Theresa May called a snap general election. Tories won again in 2017 now with a working majority with the DUP. | |||

"It just shows how you can manipulate facts to your own advantage. You can spin as much as you like BUT the Tories had a majority government and lost seats at the election to form a MINORITY government. So how you can put a positive spin on the fact you have less than you started is somewhat foolish. | |||
