I agree. Problem is there were in a coalition. As a minority member. Compromises have to made. No one take about the fact they managed to push through 60% of their manifesto during the same period.

1. They didn't have to join a coalition with the Tories.
2. Having done so, they didn't have to sustain that coalition for five years.
3. They didn't compromise, they collaborated - there's a big difference. And yes, that included tuition fees: https://www.indy100.com/news/clegg-was-offered-a-pass-on-a-rise-in-tuition-fees-by-osborne-he-rejected-it-7278621
4. They didn't push through anywhere near 60% of their manifesto.

And yet somehow they're still less awful than what Starmer has turned Labour into.
