Today's Guardian has an interesting letter from Richard Reeves et al. A welcome, if somewhat belated, show of support. This is probably the most telling paragraph:
"The liberal surge has shaken the establishment to its foundations. The Liberal Democrats, a party that owes nothing to big business, the Murdoch press or the trade unions, could form the vanguard of a great, reforming parliament. You only need to look at the desperate attempts of the rightwing press to uncover some past indiscretion on Clegg's part to see what a revolutionary figure he could be. His only debt will be to the electorate. Clegg has argued that this is a "liberal moment". Sadly, that's probably not true. But it is certainly a democratic moment."
Let's hope that this support can endure the tough times that are sure to come and remain steadfast in the desire for a fairer and more democratic voting system.
