Nick only get’s two questions each PMQ’s, in comparison to Cameron’s 6 and Gordon of course get’s the full 30 minutes.

Given that, he can never make a massive impact because his role is so marginalised.

Nick continually raises valid points on issues that matter to the electorate, while pointing out the failure of government policy. That’s exactly what I and the electorate are looking for, and he can do no more without more questions, which he won’t get.

So, as for your whining about Nick being “swatted”, that’s pretty much unavoidable when the Prime Minister gets the last word now isn’t it. He does the same thing to Cameron in an answer to his 6th question, and to Nick in and answer to his 2nd.

Seriously, if you absolutely HAVE to bash Nick Clegg, at least choose a more sensible and indeed valid approach.

Why not announce 5 minutes prior to the start that Nick has a terrible headache, broke something terrible or caught a nasty fishbone in his throat sothat (who else but..) “Vince Cable has offered to confront the P.M.” or at least make us all laugh (like he did so very, very well last year…) Gordons standard reply will be of no use to him and so he might look very silly indeed. I’m sure Nick would do ANYTHING for the Party or… ? P.S. Vince might then even be persuaded to do it more often between now and the next Gener. Elections.. Good luck.
