Clegg warns Tories to stick to bargain to save Coalition LIB DEM leader Nick Clegg has warned the Conservatives to stick to their "side of the bargain" to keep the coalition government going. The Liberal Democrat leader told delegates at his party conference in Brighton last night that Tory MPs could not "force a turbo-charged, right-wing agenda on the country." The party has threatened to veto "Conservative spending cuts" if some form of "wealth tax" is not adopted at the Coalition's next spending review. But in a speech to the conference, Clegg urged supporters against too much "squabbling" with the Tories. Halfway through the intended life of the Coalition - the current agreement lasts until 2015 - the Deputy Prime Minister is under pressure, with his party activists showing unrest, and opinion poll ratings remaining low. Members are unhappy that the Coalition has abandoned the Lib Dems" long cherished ambition of reforming the House of Lords, amid strong Conservative opposition. And last week, Clegg apologised for failing to keep the pre-2010 general election promise not to raise student tuition fees. Yesterday, Clegg was keen to promote the Lib Dems as a party of "fairness" when it comes to taxation with one of his key themes pushing for a "wealth tax." It is already Lib Dem policy to levy a 1% "mansion tax" on owners of expensive homes. Clegg said: "It's just wrong that people on low and middle incomes who work hard and play by the rules are taxed so much while Russian oligarchs pay the same council tax as some of you do on a family home." Moving on to the governing partnership with the Tories, Clegg told delegates not to lose heart, saying: "We are proving that coalition works. But we need discipline. Yes, we must show people that we are different from our coalition partners. But if all people see is squabbling then they will think coalition is a messy, incoherent thing. The party must show voters that it is a form of government that works well for them. If we don't we will have lost not only the argument for having Liberal Democrats in power but having a third party at all. Clegg set party activists a target of distributing three million leaflets setting out the "fairer" tax agenda by the end of the year, asking them to "do your bit the old-fashioned way." But Clegg criticised the attitude of some of his coalition partners, saying: "My message to those Conservative backbench MPs who seem to think they have the right to force a turbo-charged right-wing agenda on our country is this: You didn't win the last election. You do not have a ­majority. We formed this coalition in good faith and for the good of the country at a time of crisis.
