Well, that's the thing
"they're there basiclly to provide a majority to the goverment that the people of this country voted for" - yep, my point exactly (with the usual proviso about our voting system being screwed).

If all the people nominating Clegg as Villain of the Year (here and elsewhere) had actually voted for him, then maybe we'd have a LibDem government in a position to fulfil its pledges. But they didn't, and we don't.

But if they did, then the LibDem would be The Opersition, and would have even less of an effect on the goverment than they have now.
They're like the runt of the litter who got dinner because the two big cats were almost-equal in fighting.

Clegg being where he is all thanks to the fact that he _didn't_ get enough votes to beat labour, and labour _didn't_ get enough to oppose Cons.

If you didn't vote LibDem because you don't like the LibDems
then that's fair enough. I mean, I think you're wrong, but it's your choice.

But for those didn't vote LibDem because they couldn't be arsed... then complained because the LibDems aren't able to put their promised policies into action... well, what did they expect?

What about those of us who didn't vote because nobody represented what we wanted?
To be honest, I think the things that are wrong are not nesserarly the polititions, but the people who seem to have jobs for the sake of having jobs; esspesh those high up ones that pay a lot.

Like when you hear of 'councilers' (what on earth do they do anyway?) who are on £100-200k, PLUS expenses.

I think the benfits system is a disgrace, I know people who have had to wait 3 months for housing, and if it wasn't for his mate, he'd be homeless. Yet you get other people who seem to be able to get everything straight away, I just don't get it.

But if you want things to change, you've got to do something
Sure, I don't agree with everything the LibDems propose, and certainly not the Clegg/Laws wing of the party. But if you don't vote for the least worst party, the most worst one gets in. (Hmm... probably need to work on my grammar there.)

But then, should one of their policies you don't agree with, comes into play, it would be your fault... if you follow on from the same logic.
