He doesn't have one, as usual, you've ruined he's little conspiracy with facts. 
Damn they do tend to get in the way of nomads posts, far better when nobody challenges him, much more sensational.  |
I think the main point is of transparency - if you run a business (and politics is a business, imho), you don't mix personal and business accounts - too much room for error; I personally think that it was just inexperience, but he, like other MPs, must understand when stuff like this occurs, an explanation is expected - he cleared it up; excellent.
re the £2.4million - it's about the "we're not like the "old parties", we're pure and clean and above-board" - keeping £2.4 million of defrauded money isn't, imho, pure and clean and above-board; most of the MP's expenses were within the guidelines, that hasn't stopped "Persil" Clegg going on about them (even though 4 of his MPs got a telling off, but they never seem to get mentioned, do they?
).
