(Hat-tip: Political Scrapbook)
Update: It seems that the full quote from Clegg has been cheekily edited down by the maker of this video. Clegg actually said:
“So I want to make something very clear today. Will I ever join a Conservative government? No. Will I ever join a Labour government? No. I will never allow the Liberal Democrats to be a mere annex to another party’s agenda. But am I interested in building a new type of government? Yes. Based on pluralism instead of one party rule? Yes. A new system, that empowers people not parties? Yes.”
However, as even right-wing Tories are now calling for the coalition to be made long-term, this video is still worth watching, incase of a potential future electoral pact. And the sentence “I will never allow the Liberal Democrats to be a mere annex to another party’s agenda” may haunt Clegg even further…
