"out of my mind!"

The Lib dems did not manage to get the great results of “Clegg mania” they were expecting, but sitting in the middle of a hung parliment still provides them with more power they have ever had in their rather fruitless history.

As a dejected Nick Clegg sought to pick up the pieces from a bitterly disappointing night for the Lib Dems, in which they looked set to lose five seats, he restated the party with the most seats had the first right to seek form a government.

As he arrived to cheers from supporters on the steps of the Liberal Democrat headquarters in Westminster, Mr Clegg said it was now for the Tories to prove themselves capable.

He said: ‘I have said that whichever party gets the most votes and the most seats has the first right to seek to govern, either on its own or by reaching out to other parties and I stick to that view.

‘I think it is now for the Conservative Party to prove that it is capable of seeking to govern in the national interest.’

Clegg is in a unique position that any double agent could wish to be in and with a grandmother that was a Russian baroness, and her mother was the daughter of an Attorney General in the Russian Imperial Senate, he has become the new oracle to those in power at the Kremlin.

Ther skeletons in the Clegg family closet, show his great-great aunt, Moura Budberg, was almost certainly a double agent, working for both the British and the Soviet Union after the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917. Her lovers supposedly included Herbert George Wells, Maxim Gorky and Robert Bruce Lockhart, the British spy chief who inspired the James Bond stories.

Zakrevsky, his great great-grandfather, lived on a large estate in modern-day Ukraine, not far from Kiev. The crumbling estate is currently occupied by an agricultural college, but still boasts a two-storey classical mansion, annexes, and a large park. It also has a pyramid, the most blatent shrine to his illuminati roots.

Zakrevksy – like Clegg, a passionate internationalist – travelled to Egypt as ambassador in 1898. He came back with building material and ordered the brick pyramid to be built in his garden. He died in Cairo in 1906, was embalmed, taken home and buried under it.

“He was a man of liberal views and European education,” Valentina Gonchar, who runs a museum in the small village of Berezova Rudka, in the Poltava Oblast – or district – where the estate is situated, said.

“His articles on legal topics appeared in many journals at the time. He was also a leading Mason. Tsar Alexander III sacked him from the senate in 1900 after he wrote a letter to the Times in support of Alfred Dreyfus.”

According to Gonchar, the Zakrevskys fled Russia immediately after the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, with Clegg’s Russian-speaking relatives settling in Germany, France, Luxembourg and the US.

This comes at a time when almost a year ago the Russian Prosecutor General’s office did, in its own words, ‘rehabilitated’ six members of the former Russian Royal family, the Romanovs.
