Clegg had joked he would “dance across the stage in a pink tutu” to have a chance to argue with the main parties on an equal footing. Alas, this wasn't a precondition.

Oh god, now I have this image stuck in my head. Please, someone, write a fic of this! I beg you!

For some reason, I'm imagining this as "nothing but a pink tutu". Like so: http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1mx25Lp3r1qbrswgo1_500.jpg

NOW THE WHOLE WORLD'S YOUR STAGE, NICK. Plenty of time to think of something, m'love. ;)

They are probably correct about our shallow habits but only because OMG SO HOT. Even simple things manage to pack a punch sometimes. ♥

Sometimes we do like Nick to be fettered, though! Possibly to bedposts/his desk!

Fantastic article. I love hearing all the stuff that went on behind the scenes and all the people involved. Yes, I'm sure Cameron must have been kicking himself when he failed to get a majority, because the debates played their part (well, along with the "folk memory" of Thatcherism and those daft posters featuring his shiny face :). And isn't Nick Clegg a lucky, lucky fellow? :)
