Nick Clegg: Most Disliked Leader In British History?
Nick Clegg has become the most disliked party leader in modern British political history, according to a YouGov poll for the Sunday Times.
Figures revealed a huge decrease in the support for the Liberal Democrat's leader with 13% of the voters thinking that the Deputy Prime Minister is doing a good job while 78% said the opposite.
However, the figures also mean a huge turnaround since the 2010 general election when the Lib Dem leader had 74% support and was acclaimed the most popular leader since Winston Churchill.
According to the Sunday Times the party have launched no-confidence proceedings against Mr Clegg in 190 local associations.
