Of course not, he'll probably leave parliament and go into busieness or EurocracyThe "National Liberal" route, post-GE? Leading his fellow ministerial types over to the Tories, and then squatting their constituencies until the next GE?

We would seek to work with whichever party, Labour or Conservatives, had the strongest mandate from the electorate.
Beaker as leader? Seriously?
Bring back the drunk bloke, at least he seemed vaguely human and likeable.
Mr Alexander, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, said the question of whether he could do Mr Clegg’s job was “a decision that will be made”.
The lib dems can have beaker, Tories can have Shapps (sure he was mooted a few years ago before being found out), labour stick with Millibot and UKIP can have that rhombus-headed thunderbird puppet guy. That'll leave the ground clear for a charismatic socialist of some kind to romp home and fix it all. Maybe.

By last time do you mean 2013 or the last time these seats were contested (2010) ?On C4 Crick just did a quick, preliminary look at the reduction in LD council candidates standing, and pointed out about 5 districts/authorities where they've put up a third or less than last time. The famed local base appears less than secure.
The latter, I think...but tbf there weren't many details...Crick made it clear that the piece was a work in progress; it hasn't been very long since the nominations were closed.By last time do you mean 2013 or the last time these seats were contested?
Senior party figures were warned that the party’s electoral unpopularity meant that the party was facing seeing its 11 MEPs lose all their seats.
The warning came at a meeting of the party's hierarchy including Lord Ashdown, the former party leader who is coordinating the party’s election campaign.
Numbered briefing documents were handed out at the meeting, which warned that no MEPs after the election was now a realistic option.
The party looks set to do much worse than in the same polls in 2009, when it was left with 11 MEPs and won 2.1million votes or 14 per cent of the vote.
One insider told The Daily Telegraph “it is looking like an absolute bloodbath”.
Nick Clegg is a “self-obsessed” and “revolting character” who is “so dishonest” that he cannot tell the difference between truth and lies, a former aide to Michael Gove has said...
...Clegg is the “worst kind of modern MP” and whenever Mr Clegg gave a speech he used to demand "hundreds of millions of taxpayers' money" for his "latest absurd gimmick"....
"He is self-obsessed, sanctimonious and so dishonest he finds the words truth and lies have ceased to have any objective meaning, and he treats taxpayers money with contempt.
I take it he'll be standing down as both a councilor and MP then?
Hancock has tried to get the civil case against him thrown out/stayed because he “lacks the capacity to instruct his legal team” due to his mental health.

I was enjoying that till it told me to vote fucking labour
