The LibDems and lobbying

The Mail has an excellent piece highlighting leading LibDems' history as lobbyists:

Nothing has done so much to catapult the Liberal Democrats to their
current position in the polls as Nick Clegg's passionate support for
radically reformed politics.

The Lib Dem leader was utterly unequivocal in last week's
televised debate. 'What I've supported all my adult life,' he declared,
'is a complete clean-up from top to toe in politics'.

It sounded as plausible as his manner proved persuasive. Yet it is a line remarkable chiefly for its audacious dishonesty.
