Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has confirmed he will be running for Parliament at the next General Election, and is confident he will remain leader of the Liberal Democrats.
When asked about his future while touring Penwith College, in Penzance in Cornwall, Mr Clegg said: "I will be MP for Sheffield Hallam and leader of the Liberal Democrats."
He also described the LibDems as the only party making pledges on building both a robust economy and a "fairer society" – something he said his party's coalition partners and the opposition lacked.
