Nick Clegg is going to set the agenda at the next EU summit!

Politicians are a strange breed. Take Nick Clegg (please...anybody!). He made an idiot of himself and his party over David Cameron's EU veto. First he agreed with it, then 48 hours later after some on his party whined about it decided he was against it. Them it emerges that over half of his party supported Cameron's decision. 

The whole palaver made Clegg look childish and utterly out of touch with his party and the people. 

And now Clegg has decided, with what can only spectacular derangement, that he is going to set the agenda for the next EU summit and he will be representing the UK along with Cameron. 

Now I'm sorry but this is either the rambling of a fool, or more likely those of a man who takes the rest of us as fools. Clegg will not be setting the next EU meetings agenda. He won't be co-leader of the UK. He is an utterly minor poltician from a utterly insignificant party. Leaders of other countries are not going to allow the Number 10 tea boy to have a say. He might I suppose wheedle himself into a trip to be fobbed off looking at a local school, or whatever the wives of leaders do in such events, but he won't be allowed to speak. He won't set the agenda of the big boys chat. 

The very idea that the leaders of Germany, France, Greece, or any state are going to take orders from such a powerless, minor politician is laughable. 

How can Clegg spin such a ludicrous line to the voters or even his own party? He must think them very stupid indeed. 

Is there no situation that Clegg cannot make much worse for himself?
