EmailNick Clegg has said that the Lib Dems are not a party of protest but of change. But what kind of change does he have in mind?
Is it the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act that brought in workhouses or the 1911 National Insurance Act that laid the basis for the welfare state?
Both were measures of a Liberal government but they had very different impacts.
