Why Nick Clegg will be next
Fraser Nelson 9:18pm
I regard Nick Clegg as much of a certainty to replace Ming as Blair was to succeed John Smith in 1994. Some Coffee Housers have taken me to task for saying that this is bad for Cameron and good for Brown. What has Clegg ever done, they ask. Well not much, I admit, but from what I know of him I reckon he has the intellect and energy to do a great deal. He is the best hope of restoring the zing the LibDems need. Huhne is Alistair Darling without the eyebrows: cerebral but ineffective. He'll bomb.

They are paying the price for failing to make a decision on their direction at their last leadership election and choosing a caretaker istead.
