Lib Dem loser Clegg in pole position

Liberal Democrat MP Nick Clegg spent the day reflecting on his failure to entice the British electorate. Ironically MP Clegg’s supporting vote will decide which party will forms the new coalition government.

As neither the Conservatives nor the Labour Party emerged with the overall majority a coalition government is the only option.

Speaking outside of the Liberal Democrats headquarters in Westminster, Nick Clegg MP said he would talk firstly to the ‘party which achieved the largest public vote.’

There was chaos when Nick Clegg arrived, Press teams jostled to get a frame of the defeated Nick Clegg whose allegiance to either the Conservatives or Labour will decide who forms the ruling party.

David Lammy MP retained his seat as Labour MP for Harringey and Tottenham.

But there was no such joy for MP Dawn Butlet, who has been ousted from her seat in Brent Central by Liberal Democrat candidate Sarah Teather.

Teather gained 1,345 more votes than Butler in a contest that saw a 11 per cent vote swing in favour of the Liberal Democrats.

Butler had previously been an MP for Brent South before boundary changes forced her to contest the Brent Central seat. She was the third black woman to become a British MP and was also minister for youth citizens and youth engagement.

Dawn Butler however was the only MP who did not respond to any emails sent by FLYER Newspaper throughout this election campaign.  It is likely however that Miss Butler’s expenses which were among a number of questionable claims by whips uncovered by The Telegraph, significantly impacted on her re-selection chances.
