Why on earth could Clegg not have uttered these powerful Preamble words as part of his leaders debate intro?

Candidates ignoring the power and subtlety of the words of the Preamble are missing a vital weapon in the Lib Dem armoury.

Probably because it would have reminded a lot of people about what they thought they were voting for last time and what they ended up with following the love in of the rose garden

If only Clegg, Alexander or Laws had uttered the word “reluctantly”, in the last 5 years, things could have been so different….
