I remember a few years agohaving a conversation where the resounding feeling was, wouldn't it be brilliant if the LibDems had some say in politics, just any say at all.
Now I wake up in a country where the LibDems are in a coalition government. Personally I think this is the most exciting, principled thing to happen in politics certainly within my lifetime (although I'm only little).
As for Clegg, which is more principled? Doing what you think is right for the country in an unprecedented position, or making yourself more popular in the eyes of the masses? I think Clegg is sacrificing his political future and perhaps the future of his party for the sake of making a coalition work and achieving compromise where it is possible.
