Could Clegg ever win another election in Sheffield ?

What do people think ?

Could he stand and win another election in Sheffield ?

Has he still got the trust of the people who voted for him ?

Has he done his party damage or good since the coalition regarding future elections ?

Who are you ? Mystic Meg.

Doubt he could but as rimrunner says, he's got his eyes on other things, Sheffield was just a political stepping stone.

Could he stand and win another election in Sheffield ?

You mean he will find ten constituents to sign his nomination paper?

1. People on Forums generally seem to think he couldn't, but define 'people'.

2. He could stand, assuming he still wanted to, and the Liberal Democrats still wanted him to. Neither is guaranteed so long before the next election.

3. He could win. Much can happen before the next election. Nobody really thought the Lib Dems could ever unseat the Tories in Hallam, but they did. There's no guarantee the Tories will win it back. Labour are unlikely to win the current seat, but all things are possible when the time comes.

4. Define 'trust' when discussing politicians!

5. Define 'damage and good'! It depends on point of view, long term or short term. History will judge and history doesn't always come out as predicted.

Mud slinging all round doesn't change the basic facts that when an election comes we all decide whether we vote or not. Then we mostly vote for the least bad option at the time! When politicians claim we voted for their manifesto they're totally deluded. If we'd read them from cover to cover we'd find something to vote against in every one. Most would probably abstain. Maybe the abstentionist party will win the next election?

Its brought up an interesting point. Rumour has it that he will be standing down anyway. Its been on the grapevine for a while. The torys will get Hallam back and the Lib dems will spend the next 5 years rebuilding.
