Why does Clegg wish to remain Deputy PM of a "Pygmy Country"?

Lord Tebbit in his Telegraph blog this ,morning turns his attention to the shallow opportunist who remains, for the time being, the country's Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, it is linked from here. It concludes that Clegg is worse even than was John Prescott, but for me this passage carries the essential facts on Clegg:

One has to start by trying to understand Mr Clegg. He is British by passport rather than much else. He describes himself (accurately) as European rather than English. He sneers at the country of which he is Deputy Prime Minister as a "pygmy country".

The question posed in the penultimate paragraph of Lord Tabbit's quote, should be one the whole country should be able to ask, with a referendum being urgently provided for their response, just as promised by Mr Clegg in April 2010, as I posted and linked on this blog yesterday:

So we might ask our Deputy Prime Minister: "What about the Eurocrats?" Are they not a closed society in which power is entrenched in the hands of an unaccountable elite? Indeed, so much power that they have recently carried out coups d'état against the elected governments of Greece and Italy.
