Video: Tory MP taunts 'hypocrite' Nick Clegg over EU referendum Edward Leigh MP ambushed the Deputy Prime Minister in the House of Commons, clutching a Liberal Democrat campaign leaflet from 2008 which featured Nick Clegg calling for a referendum on membership of the European Union. The leaflet dated from the period the Treaty of Lisbon was being debated in Parliament. Mr Leigh asked if the man depicted on the cover of the leaflet "was an impostor or just a hypocrite?" The Deputy Prime Minister retorted that the Liberal Democrats had consistently called for a referendum on the issue.
