That’s telling him: Michael Segalov put Nick Clegg firmly in his place on the BBC’s Politics Live [this shot from a previous appearance, on Daily Politics].

Michael Segalov, who was too young to vote in 2010 when the Liberal Democrats under Mr Clegg went into a pre-arranged coalition with David Cameron’s Conservatives, said he had been enthused by the possibility of supporting that party – but had swiftly become disillusioned as Clegg supported the Cons on one disastrous policy after another.

And these were the policies that led people into voting ‘Leave’ in the 2016 EU referendum.

Watch what Mr Segalov had to say:

He’s right, isn’t he? And he knows it:

The outburst has encouraged others to talk about the failings of the Liberal Democrats:

Current leader Vince Cable, taking part in the Liberal Democrat party conference in Brighton, tried to play down the significance of Mr Segalov’s claims – and failed:

Mr Segalov is to be praised for pointing out what everybody has known for a long time.

The Liberal Democrats helped the Conservatives set up the discontent that led people to vote for Brexit and then set themselves up as the party of opposition to it. They are two-faced.

And have they suggested any solutions to the real social problems that prompted the Brexit vote? No.

What a waste of Parliamentary seats. No wonder Nick Clegg couldn’t even look Mr Segalov in the eye.
