Stop the Cuts - National Demonstration

There is a very good reason to vote Liberal Democrat if you are student, namely that if they ever got into power (which I think is unlikely) they would likely abolish tuition fees altogether.

People need to be realistic, running around burning effigies of Nick Clegg is probably great fun and gets everyone excited, but they made various promises about what they were going to if they won power, they didn't win power, but joined a coalition as the (very) junior partner so are unable to do as they please.

You might as well march around burning effigies of Caroline Lucas . . . look what the Green Party's policy on education states:

: ED234 Under a Green government there would be no student loans as there would be no tuition fees and living costs would be met by Citizen’s Income. In the short term we will reintroduce student grants to meet living costs :

. . . they didn't deliver that either! The fucking lying bastards, what's the point in ever voting for the Green Party again ? And don't use the excuse that they didn't win the election either, that's the dirty little trick the Lib Dems are trying to pull, not winning an election is no excuse for not implementing your policies.

If you want to have a debate about things that can't be compared, now I'm ready ;)

This is the pledge Clegg made:

“I pledge to vote against any increase in fees in the next parliament and to pressure the government to introduce a fairer alternative”

The issue has nothing to do with them not having a majority in parliament. He promised to vote one way, and has now voted the other way.

Caroline Lucas also signed the pledge, and kept her promise by voting against the tuition fee increase.
