I doubt many will admit to this soon, but I actually like Clegg. The party is back yo where to where it was many decades ago under his reign, but personally and politically I can find much I like in him.
I think that Nick Clegg will be better thought of with the perspective of time

He's a little John Major like, isn't he?
John Major didn't wipe out his own party so completely as Nick Clegg. Clegg has wiped out his party so thoroughly as if it was a window stain.

He was handed a poisoned chalice. He didn't have any choice but to go into coalition with the Conservative Party. The UK benefited. The LibDems did not.

He's got to be a strong contender to become our EU commissioner next time round.
BBC coverage is funny, they just can't hide their disappointment. Apparently fixed term parliament was an ill thought out disaster...really...we got a stable government for 5 years.
DavidL: I see you efforts were not in vain as the Conservative vote was up in Perth and NP. Just the SNP vote went up aswell (smallest swing to the SNP vs 2nd place party so far though I think at only 4.5%)

Of course he had a choice, and he made the wrong one.
That's quite depressing - the Labour hold rather than the Ukip 2nd, I mean. I really can't understand the mentality of people who continue to vote Labour in that town.

Haven't seen the result but good to hear it was a respectable showing. Dare I suggest that the only way for the SNP is now down?

Really? It would have been better to get into a "rainbow" coalition of losers? That would have been better for the UK?
Works worse when you see his (t)witterings on their own; when they spike up an otherwise one-sided thread and occasionally throw a different light or insight on a topic, there seemed to be a lot of value in it. Personality and etiquette issues aside, anyway. But a full-on diet of it neither looks as funny nor as clever, and with the benefit of hindsight, the Wrong is really quite funny.
So...what do we put down to Tories getting all these swings in England?
Was it the Tories scare tactics over the Lab+SNP?
I think people woke up this morning and thought 'Miliband as PM? I can't vote for that'
I think it is too simple to put it down to one message.
Lab + SNP for some. The horror of Milliband PM for others. Balls as CoE for others. Stopping UKIP for others. Positive vote for finishing off recovering the economy for others.
The Crosby campaign spoke to all of these are different times. In retrospect it may well have been a masterful campaign. I wonder at which point in the past few days the internal polling started to show this - or was it squeaky bum time for them as well as us?
We were certainly reading it the last few days. Today, we got very strange responses from phoning the soft Labour vote - over half of it was coming over to the Tories. Thought it was too good to be true. But....
That's interesting. I wonder why the late phone polls weren't picking this up, but showed a convergence with the online polls.

Cable apparent in trouble - good, he's been useless. That's not a partisan point, I actually feel sorry for the Libs in general (esp Danny Alexander), they had no choice but coalition and have got an utterly unfair clobbering as a result.

UKIP a long way off.
Cardiff North may be interesting...
CON Hold Stroud #GE2015
After Ed Milliband became Labour Leader, he lost something.
In the same way that "PBTory" became a term of honour, can I apply to be a "PBHodges"? or is it too late?
Again, Labour taking the electorate for fools reselecting such an individual.
Whereas LAB failed to get their #1 target.

There's a recount going on in Wirral West. That's Esther McVey's seat.

Galloway out is icing on the cake.
Labour GAIN Bradford West. George Galloway OUT.
