Student protest, London 10 November

[Greybeard]

A degree of Treacherous venal mendacity

 

Even more so for a Deputy Prime Minister.

 

It turns out that even though Clegg was still promising to abolish tuition fees in May the policy had secretly been abandoned in March so he could get into bed with the Tories.

 

This was a promise made specifically to persuade students to vote LibDem, so no surprise that they're a little miffed.

It WAS specifically promised, and it was publicised by the NUS, alongside other policies relevent to students, prior to the general election. Students could then consider the policies prior to voting. He deserves dog poo through his letter box. I'm off to buy a dog

I wonder how quickly he is going to backtrack on his idea that constituents should be able to recall their MP if they are guilty of wrongdoing.

 

If he'd got any integrity, he would 'recall' himself, after the fiasco where students were denied their vote.

My understanding is that they would stick to their pledges on student fees if the gained power.

The alternative was proposed if they had to form a coalition with another party who had different views on the matter.
