Nick Clegg's cowardly retreat from Glasgow

Nick Clegg was tonight hounded out of Glasgow by angry local socialists. When SSY members in Maryhill heard that Nick Clegg was in our local community centre, we roared into action to try and ask him a few questions about his policies.

Nick Clegg has almost singlehandedly taken the Libdems from third place to pushing the Tories for first. The Libdems have been scrutinised more than at any time [...]

Cleggmania: "I think we're bigger than Jesus"

Nick Clegg has been reaping the rewards of being the only person in the Leader’s TV debates who wasn’t in Labour or the Tories. Yesterday, a yougov poll was released that showed Clegg is now enjoying almost the same levels of popularity as Winston Churchill at the height of his power. But some are concerned [...]

What's wrong with the Lib Dems?

Lib Dem supporters in this election must feel like they’re dreaming after the TV debates the other night. The Liberal Democrats have had a huge poll boost, and are now ahead of Labour in people’s voting intentions. Why has this party, seemingly always doomed to be an also-ran, suddenly emerged as an actual contender for [...]
