Today Nick Clegg made his first big speech as Deputy PM, which focused on his responsibility to build big Political reform.
In the Speech, Clegg promised to boost civil liberties by ending ID cards, Biometirc passports and according to PA adding regulations to CCTV and the DNA database.
"@LauraK Clegg confirms coalition plans vote on AV, power of recall, next elex date, scrap ID cards, rules for CCTV, elected Lords"-Twitter
The proposals made in the speech are described as "pledging the biggest shake-up in British democracy since the Great Reform Act of 1832."-Channel 4 Where Earl Grey in an early liberal reform group called Whigs, went against the Tories to increase voting rights for people and end practises like rotten boroughs).
Channel 4 news compares the section of the speech about handing power back to the people to the Conservative big society pledge.
Which promises do you think Clegg can keep in a coalition government?
Or, are we eating a News Sandwich? (good news, bad news, goods news soon)

As we all know-and has been proven time and time again-that politicians are inclined to say one thing and do another.
The scrapping of ID cards is good, however I dont think they would have passed fully whatever government tried them.
it's a case of twiddling our thumbs and waiting to see if they follow through - 2 years ago

I thought he sounded more liberal than Locke in that speech...I just hope he can deliver.
