I made it through to the end, but got steadily angrier, the more I read. I accepted, back in 2010, that Clegg was very much between a rock and a hard place in negotiating a coalition, and that maybe dealing with the Tories was the least bad of his three unappealing options. Not being involved in the negotiations, I couldn't know what was really on the table with either of the two big parties. But over the next five years, I came steadily to the conclusion that he was in over his head and didn't even realise it.
The interview very much seems to confirm that latter view and, as you both say, he still doesn't seem to understand what went wrong at all, or why so many people (myself very much included) are still so angry with him and the party.
