Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrats)
When Nick Clegg burst onto the scene as a fresh voice in British politics in the last election many people wanted to believe in him – especially when he promised an alternative to the status quo. In an effort to secure a win, he joined a coalition government and, in the eyes of many, betrayed the trust many voters put in him to reduce tuition fees and limit spending on Trident.
Floyd Landis could be considered a fair reflection of Nick Clegg. Both joined a dodgy team that became quite unpopular with the masses and both were considered the ‘next big thing’ for a time before falling spectacularly from grace. They both also wore (or still wear) yellow.
