It's quite a situation to be in. I do actually believe that politicians enter politics because they want to improve things. I'm not sure they carry that with them too far into the career but I do believe it is that, rather than the chance of power or riches that initially at least takes them into politics.
I can't believe Clegg even bothers turning up for work anymore after his ditching of all his principles. I have never hidden my left wing views and Clegg shouldn't be a million miles in his principles from me. But I have more respect for Tebbit or Portillo than Clegg. They preached absolute tripe, but at least they genuinely believed it and you could never make them compromise it...
