[quote]Nick Clegg had to face some tough questions in Rochdale after coming face-to-face with the town's most famous pensioner.
Before touring local engineering firm Holroyd Precision Ltd, the winner of a £2.8 million government grant, Nick Clegg briefly met Gillian Duffy - who was disastrously branded a "bigoted woman" by Gordon Brown.
Mrs Duffy, 66, asked Mr Clegg why he "went in" with the Tories instead of Labour after the last General Election.
"Because you may remember, no one won the election at all. No one got a majority," Mr Clegg said.
"I think it is important you have a Government that can do things because we have to sort out a lot of mess we inherited from the previous lot."
Unbowed, Mrs Duffy asked the Deputy Prime Minister to "look me in the eye and tell me" he was happy with the current Government cuts. "Whoever was in power now, any government would have to take difficult decisions," he told her.
Mr Clegg added that the country's finances was similar to him and his wife "maxing" out their credit cards - and the debt had to be paid off.
But Mrs Duffy responded "That's just the same speech" she heard him give an hour earlier on the radio.
Mr Clegg conceded he had probably not won her vote.[/quote]

Good Job it wasn't me stood there.....i imagine the Atmosphere would have been very different
For one i'd like to ask Clegg why he made me waste my vote for him.
tbh he made some valid points but he's still a dickhead liar
congratz on ruining lib dem's chances for the next couple of decades, nick!
am I wrong, or was this woman a long time labour voter?
i wonder how exactly the questioning would have went if he bumped into a lib dem voter.
