However, whether this is because she is shifting towards the majority, or because the majority is shifting towards her is something I couldn't answer if I tried.<br /><br />The wider political environment should obviously take some credit for this, as the division between right and wrong has some real and tangible cases to cite.

Even though I was not a member at the time of the election I would have voted for Chris Huhne.<br /><br />However Clegg continues to impress me and this is the latest brave move that will hopefullu continue to increase his reputation as a confident politician who knows what has to be done and gets on with it.<br /><br />I wouldn't expect you to take credit for it but you have certainly contributed and I wouldn't be at all surprised if your comments and similar ones throughout the Lib Dem blogosphere had some effect.Mark Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00744387583593537268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-2639027745784763562009-05-17T11:28:00.000+01:002009-05-17T11:28:00.000+01:00Well, I'll treasure this particular headline forev...Well, I'll treasure this particular headline forever I'm sure, but I can't - and don't want to - take credit for this.<br /><br />It complete fits in with who Clegg said he wanted to be when he was campaigning to become leader of the party - challenging the status quo, battling against the wrongs of the cost Westminster bubble. He will never get a better opportunity to demonstrate his commitment to that. <br /><br />Well done Clegg!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
