Nick Clegg has been pretty busy lately. Posing with the Sun newspaper (with a suspiciously clear desk behind him), uh, he's probably eaten lunch a few times, fended off an attempted putsch (putsch by poll, that would suck) and gone down the pub with Vince Cable because they are mates, guys. Total mates. And why not, they've got nothing else on, being photographed with a pint in hand works for Nigel Farage. In fact Nick Clegg even pulled a pint (the photo shows he went for London Pride rather than Iron Maiden's Trooper) which is something to put on the old CV. Just in case, always good to have a fall back. But while we know the drapes would be yellow, what would a proper Lib Dem pub be called? Here are some of our suggestions...
1. The Disappointment. Oh I feel bad for the Lib Dems and who knows maybe it is true that if they hadn't joined the coalition we'd all be even worse off. But if there's one emotion they provoke, looking at Clegg's stressed little face and the string of broken promises, well... Squeamish Louise
2. If I had to name a Lib Dem pub I'd call it the One Step Forward Three Steps Back. A rather lengthy title but appropriate nonetheless. They've not really lived up to their promises and are definitely falling back. Squeamish Nicola
3. A few years ago I'd have suggested The Protest Vote for a Lib Dem pub. But now I suppose I'd call it The Abstainer in honour of all those who don't know who to vote for any more. Obviously if I did ever get to name a pub I'd call it The Bearded Nipple. Squeamish Kate
4. The Pointless Endeavour.F1Kate
5. I've no idea what it should be called, but I know exactly what it should look like. It should look lovely and inviting from the outside - a proper British pub, offering a real beer garden, real ales (and drink deals for students) and decent roasts. However once it's lured you in you find out that the beers gone flat, the drink deals don't exist, the toilets broken and they've flogged off the beer garden.
And you are stuck in there for the next 5 years. Gareth
