Every Liberal Democrat everywhere
Where's your hoity-toity, holier than thou, "ooh, we're different", "be the change" shite now?

It's not just Clegg who's sold his tuchus to Cameron. It's the whole lot of them: Cable, Hughes, Campbell, right down to the grassroots. All those posturing bastards who sneered at the other political parties for not being progressive, honest or "fair"

Now, as higher education is ripped out of the hands of ordinary people, thousands upon thousands lose their jobs and the economy floats down the pan on the back of purely ideological cuts, we see the Lib Dems for what they are: limp-wristed, spineless, gutless, corporate little bitches. To use Bill Hicks's phrase: suckers of Satan's cock every single one of them.

Menzies Campbell voted agaist the rise in tuition fees and Simon hughes abstained.
Personally, I'd attach more blame to the tories for these policies as they are the major partner in the coalition

Ooh, abstained.
How very, very Liberal Democrat. Ineffective yet pointless

Coalitions
Are not the breeding ground of forge ahead politics, what exactly did you expect?

I dunno I still have fond feelings for the drunkard Kennedy.
Further, for me it all seems like naivete has really been their leader in all this.

But I'll support your disappointment as long as it's not some sort of implicit support for Labour, which quite frankly haven't helped matters either. Much as I would probably prefer them to the current government,
if only for stemming back the tide of disappointing Conservative leadership.

"ordinary people"?
I always thought you had to be privately educated to have any chance of getting into higher education.

I believed that they were different
Now I carry the shame of having voted Liberal in the last election. I do not trust Labour, would rather eat my own shaved off pubes than vote Tory and my other candidate was a BNP nut job who would have me sent to the gas chamber at the first opportunity! So I voted Liberal because I felt like I had so little choice and also women died getting me the right to vote, so I had to make my mark somehow. The Liberal candidate got less than a third of the vote and my town is now being arse fucked by the Tories.

Viva la revolution...

Nobody voted Lib-Dem to in order to get a Tory government
Where I live it's a two-horse race between Lib-Dem and Conservative, and it's usually a pretty close call. Anyone who votes Lib-Dem does it to keep the Tories out. Elsewhere they vote Lib-Dem because they're pissed off with Labour but still hate the Tories. That's a mistake that won't be repeated any time soon, the Lib-Dems are going to be hurting for a long time over this.

We have a government that the public DIDN'T vote for, and the sooner the whole septic, bastard mess is put to sleep with a re-election, the better.

Oh, one last thing: tuition fees. If, back in 1992, I was faced with the then-equivalent of a £36,000 debt at the end of a 4-year degree course, I wouldn't have gone to Uni. Fortunately we still had student grants back then, with the newly-created Student Loans to top them up. I left in 1996 with around a £2,000 (worth about £3,000 today) debt for 4 years' worth of education. Now I'd run more than that up in a semester.
