The Lib Dems are liars especially when it comes to Taxation and the economy in general, the Lib Dems promised the introduction of a Mansions Tax and less spending cuts. The Lib Dems now actually seem a very Extremist Party, due to the fact that they have gone against the freedom of the people and have supported bans on everything.
A vote for the lib-dems (or any of the mainstream parties, including ukip) is a vote to keep allowing immigration until we are outnumbered in our own country.
The Liberal Democrats voted against introducing a minimum wage in 1998 and while in Government in 2010 they voted to treble University fees after attacking Labour for introducing them in the first place. That is all I need to know about what they think of the British people.
support seems to be holding and people realsie that they are at least consistent. You know what you are getting! The Lib Dems seem to be opportunists of the worst sort.
Scotland. They supported devolution and talk about fair representation yet seek to deny that there was a clear mandate in the last Scottish Election for the referendum to at least be held and they seek to impose a Westminster controlled referendum without the coalition having any kind of Scottish mandate. In short they are committing electoral suicide north of the border. It is clear that fairness etc only matters if it should benefit the Lib Dems. The Tories may be unpopular here but their
You people really don't seem to realize the Lib Dems position. They have no real power in the Coalition government as the Tories won anyway, and they are a new party (Yes, formed from two others) and so don't really know of how they have to compromise. But then again, simply watch, listen and read their policies. Give them a chance, Give them a vote, and see what they could do.
@TehBlankOG They did have a choice they could easily have not entered the coalition and stuck to their beliefs. If they really stuck to their beliefs they would stop sticking up for the conservatives and stand up for themselves more. Nick Clegg told us in his constituency to vote for him in order to keep out the conservatives, cheers Nick.
@TehBlankOG If they aren't really in power then why will they go against their own policies in order to stay in that position. Laying aside whatever one feels about the independence debate in Scotland, certain facts are clear. In their 2010 manifesto the Lib Dems state that they support the voting age being lowered to 16 - yet they now oppose the idea that 16 year olds should vote in the referendum. The Lib Dems have long argued for a federal UK yet they oppose the third choice of Devo Max in
@5786Dan "I will never vote for them again." Michael Moore is the MP where I live. Their whole campaign was, and is always, based on the idea that here they are the only viable opposition to the Tory candidate. Many Labour and SNP orientated people regularly vote Lib Dem here to keep the Tory out. What point though now. They'd be as well voting for the party they actually want and let the Tory in :-)

Did the Liberal Democrats win a majority of votes or seats? No, so the moronic leftists accusing him of treachery are doing their movement a disservice by propagating that myth. As they didn't, they don't have a mandate to force ordinary working taxpayers to pay for self righteous wannabe Che Guevara's to do a media studies degree. Nobody has answered the question... why should someone on minimum wage pay taxes to pay for students' university education?
@Hamilcar275 Universities are a public good - they benefit everyone in our society. We need them for research and well as to teach the young. As a public good they need to funded by the public ... yes that means the taxpayer. The person you suggest on the minimum wage would pay a tiny amount towards x student's education, and of course a richer person would pay more. Why is giving students £27,000 of quasi-debt a better idea than funding it from taxes? Education isn't a product.
No, they benefit those who attend. I don't need to go to university to receive a piece of paper confirming my intelligence, so how does it benefit me to pay for students' education fees? The number of graduates in an economy is irrelevant if employers cannot employ them. Personally, I'd abolish most of the universities and turn them into technical colleges. We don't need over 120 universities. The Russell Group is more than enough.
The idea that a university education is necessary to cultivate the intellect is an insidious lie. Autodictatism is the future. Universities are not compulsory. One makes a conscious choice, an informed decision. The student knows about debts and hardship, but does a cost/benefit analysis and calculates a degree would increase his earning power. If university were compulsory it shouldn't be paid for by the student, but as it is, the charge should remain.
If we had a proper market in education rather than a state monopoly, we could have the vibrancy and dynamism of the American university system, with its emphasis on science intensive research, and its pre university emphasis on the liberal arts. And the Ivy League operate needs blind admissions policies, providing very generous grants and bursaries for poorer students. And the tax system there encourages endowments, which isn't the case in England.
Oh play a different tune please. I thought the Left believed in inclusiveness and diversity, so why do you assume Tories are c*nts? It is bigoted small mindedness, dismissing a political philosophy with a rich and proud historical tradition, a tradition that saved Britain from fascism and communism because of its reverence for the wisdom of ancient institutions, when compared to the organic nation building that struck Europe after the Enlightenment leading to its eventual near destruction 1945
@RichardElden Enough to make an impact on issues such as tuition fees but in preference of their positions of power over their policies they chose to play it safe and vote in favour of the government. Who said they had to join a coalition in the first place? They chose to and in doing so they should have fought for their beliefs and core ethics. Oh well...
@RichardElden Yes, vote for us and then when we have garnered any sort of power be it a coalition or anything else we will not fight for our policies but instead turn the other cheek and start explaining why the Conservatives are correct. Bollocks.
@RichardElden "We pledge to vote against any rise in fees over the course of the next parliament", to paraphrase. That's breaking a promise. Nick (with his 19% approval rating) need to apologise.
So students gets hand outs and they want the government to hold there hands then?
Why do student need to go to Uni in the first?
Richard Branson never went to Uni and look at him now, so if he can do it so can the student but to me it seems the student don't want to get off there backsides and they want things to be handed to them
Nick Clegg's consistent criticism of banking greed is commendable but his endorsement of the Tories repressive and populist attitude to the unemployed is reprehensible
I appreciate there was no easy answer for the results of the 2010 General Election but even leaving aside the tuition fees issue, the key Lib Dem principles of trust and fairness have been crushed. As has the believe that 'no one should be enslaved by conformity' Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems have fully endorsed the Tories repressive and populist welfare policies which vilifies and scapegoats the unemployed even more than New Labour did. There is nothing 'fair' about that.
One year on and with only 57 seats to the Conservatives 306, the Lib Dems have already fulfilled ~75% of their manifesto... Conservatives only ~50%.
As for student fees... they were between a rock and a hard place (both Labour and Conservatives wanted to raise fees) and struck 3 crucial compromises:
1 - No one pays anything upfront (so anyone can go).
2 - You don't start to pay it back till you're earning over 21k (rather than 15k).
Lib dems hadnt been in any type of power for approx 80 years before the recent coalition, Can't wait till next election, I for one will never vote for them, and hold this as a reminder. I hope they dont get into power again for atleast another 80 years. (:
@tdp1909 No one is saying "oh whoops we didn't mean it". They're still opposed to them, what they did was a strategic move. As the bill was originally, you started to pay back at 15k, and more nasty things. If the LibDems voted no or abstained then the votes would have come from elsewhere and the bill would have been as it was originally.
In agreeing to vote yes they made it a fairer bill. They sacrificed their image to save your pocket, get on your knees where you should be.
@2edsajdmsa That is the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. Lib Dems made absolutely no difference to the bill and even if it would have gone through without their support (surely Labour would have voted tactically against it) at least they would have kept their promise...
Btw, I'm a former student not a current one. Even if I was a current one though, I'd have nothing to be thankful to the Lib Dems for other than warm words.
@tdp1909 Do some research before running your mouth.
The LibDems demanded, and got, several concessions in exchange for their voting for it. Most importantly was the raising of the income level when you start paying back, from 15k to 21k, lower payment rates.
No one needs to worry about not being able to pay it back. You pay back as little as 7 pounds/month and at MOST 30 pounds/month. The money is pooled, poor students pay back less than they do now, rich students pay back more. Its fair.
@tdp1909 I'm not saying its OK to break pledges. I would rather the LibDems went back to NUS and explained why they were breaking the pledge. But to demonize them for breaking it in order to get a better deal FOR the NUS is retarded and displays a lack of political tact by those who now fight against them.
Also keep in mind that the Labour party, the party the students now support, had 13 years, didn't scrap them, and indeed introduced them when they said they wouldn't, then raised it twice
@2edsajdm As these arguments can go on ad nauseam, I hav to admit that the reason I'm annoyed is the promise and the actions of Nick Clegg.
I think Clegg should have said "OK, so we can't fulfil this promise, but what I'll do is ask students themselves what we can do with current circumstances". 1 thing he could certainly have done is reduce student numbers, thereby reducing fees. Either way he handled it badly and I hope the Lib Dems (+ Tories) soon move into the post-Blair/Cameron/Clegg age
You talk about the Lib Dems being demonized. Well its true they have had a pretty rough ride in the press and public opinion over the last year. But its nothing compared to what unemployed people and especially claimants face on a daily basis in this country. The red top press have engaed in an orchestrated hate campaign to misinform the public and try and turn anger on this group. The Big 3 parties- especially the Tories have either endorsed or appeased this hate campaign
Nick Clegg and his party have done absolutely nothing to oppose the repressive forced labour policy which (illegally) forces unemployed people to do manual work for £1.60 per hour- about 4 times less than the minimum wage. A misinformed public eager for the blood of 'dole scroungers' are not even aware of this repressive policy. As the Lib Dems have done nothing to oppose this it must be assumed they support it. A policy that criminalises people who have not commited a crime
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 I agree with you, the cuts are hard. But I'm not mad at the LibDems for making the difficult choice. It has to be done, either now or later when it will be harder to do.
I'm angry about why we're forced to make the cuts, LABOUR! Labour admitted when they left office, they said "Theres no money left". We can't spend what we don't have.
Its awful, but we need to fight hard until 2014 when we return to surplus.
@2edsajdmsa Once we return to surplus we can start increasing funding again. The LibDems have no intention of keeping the cuts permanently (although I guarantee you the Tories are!). We're putting on hold what we can't afford, temporarily.
broken promises.... a promise broken... broken promises... a promise broken.. a trail of promises broken.... time to do things differently.. time for promises to be kept...
yeah...... very very sad joke ... sad that it ain't even funny..
The sad thing is that the policies people disagree with are clearly Conservative Policies. People don't seem to be able to see that, fair enough punish the Lib Dems for their broken promises, but for heaven's sake at least know why you're doing it.
And as for the irony and hypocrisy that everyone has noticed which they seem to think elevates them to the status of David Dimbleby, ain't hindsight a brilliant thing? Yeah, thought so.
@RichardElden - who wanted him to join Labour? As you point out, that would have been idiocy - the whole point of the LibDems used to be that they were a third force; independent, honest, honourable. The mission was gradual growth, and letting the other "big two" flail and fail, until one of them was weak enough to supercede.
Clegg blew that all away, and now we have a two party system again; the left wing supporters will never forgive them, and the right wing supporters don't care.
@RichardElden "Nobody would have ever voted Lib Dem again" - er, you do know they're going to be obliterated in the polls today don't you? He's taken them from 30% to 15% (or lower) in 12 months. They're done.
@RichardElden He could have let the tories form a minority government, and then supported/opposed them on a vote-by-vote, policy-by-policy basis. He would have had the controlling hand, without the need for compromise.
Your comment "Clegg hasn't lied about anything" turned into "He didn't have any choice" in the blink of an eye.
@RichardElden - search for "Nick Clegg fail" - I'll save you the bother..."Will I ever join a Conservative Government? No!". Two faced Judas bastard, and his party are worse for letting him get away with it with barely a whimper.
Can't even put into words how ridiculous this is looking back. 'Too many broken promises', probably the only thing he said that people still agree with.
Alot of you commenting don't seem to understand that the Liberal Democrats are in a coalition with the Conservatives. Unless you think the Conservatives are going to give the Libdems everything they want (if so your an idiot) there are going to be compromises.
These compromises mean that sometimes you have to give up somethings you believe in to show a unified government and the greater good.
@coolbanana165 Coalition or not, the way they went about it was a disgrace!!! It would have been very easy to say "hey look, we need to compromise!" rather than claiming that they "weren't so different after all"!! It is the highest degree of selling out and makes my skin crawl!!!
Brian Eno did not deserve this toss bag liar to use his use and what a fecking hypocrit!!!!!!!!! bollocks to him and his S.P.A.D career polititian friends. Piss off and a have a craftey fag whilst listening to the Smiths you twat!!
Just another toff who couldn't wait to get into bed with his old Eton chum and multimillionaire Tory selling ordinary people and his party down the river in the process.
Goodbye Libdems, it's been nice knowing you (well, it was when you actually had some integrity and honesty). RIP Libdems 2010.
Do not vote for the LIbLabCon in local elections. The three main parties are lying cheating scum. They only care about themselves. Plus more broken promises.
In 2015, Labour should broadcast the highlights of this in their party political broadcast - it's gold, just gold, hilarious. Clegg is doomed, to ignominy in political history.

Why is giving students £27,000 of quasi-debt a better idea than funding it from taxes? Education isn't a product.

No, they benefit those who attend. I don't need to go to university to receive a piece of paper confirming my intelligence, so how does it benefit me to pay for students' education fees? The number of graduates in an economy is irrelevant if employers cannot employ them. Personally, I'd abolish most of the universities and turn them into technical colleges. We don't need over 120 universities. The Russell Group is more than enough.
Hamilcar275 7 months ago
The idea that a university education is necessary to cultivate the intellect is an insidious lie. Autodictatism is the future. Universities are not compulsory. One makes a conscious choice, an informed decision. The student knows about debts and hardship, but does a cost/benefit analysis and calculates a degree would increase his earning power. If university were compulsory it shouldn't be paid for by the student, but as it is, the charge should remain.
Hamilcar275 7 months ago
If we had a proper market in education rather than a state monopoly, we could have the vibrancy and dynamism of the American university system, with its emphasis on science intensive research, and its pre university emphasis on the liberal arts. And the Ivy League operate needs blind admissions policies, providing very generous grants and bursaries for poorer students. And the tax system there encourages endowments, which isn't the case in England.

Oh play a different tune please. I thought the Left believed in inclusiveness and diversity, so why do you assume Tories are c*nts? It is bigoted small mindedness, dismissing a political philosophy with a rich and proud historical tradition, a tradition that saved Britain from fascism and communism because of its reverence for the wisdom of ancient institutions, when compared to the organic nation building that struck Europe after the Enlightenment leading to its eventual near destruction 1945

@RichardElden Enough to make an impact on issues such as tuition fees but in preference of their positions of power over their policies they chose to play it safe and vote in favour of the government. Who said they had to join a coalition in the first place? They chose to and in doing so they should have fought for their beliefs and core ethics. Oh well...

@RichardElden Yes, vote for us and then when we have garnered any sort of power be it a coalition or anything else we will not fight for our policies but instead turn the other cheek and start explaining why the Conservatives are correct. Bollocks.

Why do student need to go to Uni in the first?
Richard Branson never went to Uni and look at him now, so if he can do it so can the student but to me it seems the student don't want to get off there backsides and they want things to be handed to them

I appreciate there was no easy answer for the results of the 2010 General Election but even leaving aside the tuition fees issue, the key Lib Dem principles of trust and fairness have been crushed. As has the believe that 'no one should be enslaved by conformity' Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems have fully endorsed the Tories repressive and populist welfare policies which vilifies and scapegoats the unemployed even more than New Labour did. There is nothing 'fair' about that.

One year on and with only 57 seats to the Conservatives 306, the Lib Dems have already fulfilled ~75% of their manifesto... Conservatives only ~50%.
As for student fees... they were between a rock and a hard place (both Labour and Conservatives wanted to raise fees) and struck 3 crucial compromises:
1 - No one pays anything upfront (so anyone can go).
2 - You don't start to pay it back till you're earning over 21k (rather than 15k).
3 - If you can't pay it back it gets written off.

@2edsajdmsa He still signed a pledge on Tuition fees though which applies whether he won power or not.
Why on Earth he went back on that promise in such a lame "oh-whoops-we-didn't-actually-mean-it" fashion is beyond me...
tdp1909 9 months ago
@tdp1909 No one is saying "oh whoops we didn't mean it". They're still opposed to them, what they did was a strategic move. As the bill was originally, you started to pay back at 15k, and more nasty things. If the LibDems voted no or abstained then the votes would have come from elsewhere and the bill would have been as it was originally.
In agreeing to vote yes they made it a fairer bill. They sacrificed their image to save your pocket, get on your knees where you should be.
2edsajdmsa 9 months ago
@2edsajdmsa That is the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. Lib Dems made absolutely no difference to the bill and even if it would have gone through without their support (surely Labour would have voted tactically against it) at least they would have kept their promise...
Btw, I'm a former student not a current one. Even if I was a current one though, I'd have nothing to be thankful to the Lib Dems for other than warm words.
tdp1909 9 months ago
@tdp1909 Do some research before running your mouth.
The LibDems demanded, and got, several concessions in exchange for their voting for it. Most importantly was the raising of the income level when you start paying back, from 15k to 21k, lower payment rates.
No one needs to worry about not being able to pay it back. You pay back as little as 7 pounds/month and at MOST 30 pounds/month. The money is pooled, poor students pay back less than they do now, rich students pay back more. Its fair.
2edsajdmsa 9 months ago
@2edsajdmsa Ditto - Nick Clegg promised no rise in the cap at all, even when he knew our dire economic circumstances: /watch?v=Q_AMABsBNgw
Concessions are one thing, but making a strong promise to stand against ANY fees and then introducing fees IS breaking a promise.
In fairness, the Lib Dems made the best of a bad deal, but that doesn't get them off the hook of breaking promies.
tdp1909 9 months ago
@tdp1909 I'm not saying its OK to break pledges. I would rather the LibDems went back to NUS and explained why they were breaking the pledge. But to demonize them for breaking it in order to get a better deal FOR the NUS is retarded and displays a lack of political tact by those who now fight against them.
Also keep in mind that the Labour party, the party the students now support, had 13 years, didn't scrap them, and indeed introduced them when they said they wouldn't, then raised it twice
2edsajdmsa 9 months ago
@2edsajdmsa The new system is infinitely better for students than the old one, you'd have to be pretty dense to fight it.
2edsajdmsa 9 months ago
@2edsajdm As these arguments can go on ad nauseam, I hav to admit that the reason I'm annoyed is the promise and the actions of Nick Clegg.
I think Clegg should have said "OK, so we can't fulfil this promise, but what I'll do is ask students themselves what we can do with current circumstances". 1 thing he could certainly have done is reduce student numbers, thereby reducing fees. Either way he handled it badly and I hope the Lib Dems (+ Tories) soon move into the post-Blair/Cameron/Clegg age
tdp1909 9 months ago
@2edsajdmsa
You talk about the Lib Dems being demonized. Well its true they have had a pretty rough ride in the press and public opinion over the last year. But its nothing compared to what unemployed people and especially claimants face on a daily basis in this country. The red top press have engaed in an orchestrated hate campaign to misinform the public and try and turn anger on this group. The Big 3 parties- especially the Tories have either endorsed or appeased this hate campaign
WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 9 months ago
Nick Clegg and his party have done absolutely nothing to oppose the repressive forced labour policy which (illegally) forces unemployed people to do manual work for £1.60 per hour- about 4 times less than the minimum wage. A misinformed public eager for the blood of 'dole scroungers' are not even aware of this repressive policy. As the Lib Dems have done nothing to oppose this it must be assumed they support it. A policy that criminalises people who have not commited a crime
WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 9 months ago
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 I agree with you, the cuts are hard. But I'm not mad at the LibDems for making the difficult choice. It has to be done, either now or later when it will be harder to do.
I'm angry about why we're forced to make the cuts, LABOUR! Labour admitted when they left office, they said "Theres no money left". We can't spend what we don't have.
Its awful, but we need to fight hard until 2014 when we return to surplus.
2edsajdmsa 9 months ago
@2edsajdmsa Once we return to surplus we can start increasing funding again. The LibDems have no intention of keeping the cuts permanently (although I guarantee you the Tories are!). We're putting on hold what we can't afford, temporarily.

Robmzj 9 months ago
@RichardElden - who wanted him to join Labour? As you point out, that would have been idiocy - the whole point of the LibDems used to be that they were a third force; independent, honest, honourable. The mission was gradual growth, and letting the other "big two" flail and fail, until one of them was weak enough to supercede.
Clegg blew that all away, and now we have a two party system again; the left wing supporters will never forgive them, and the right wing supporters don't care.

@RichardElden He could have let the tories form a minority government, and then supported/opposed them on a vote-by-vote, policy-by-policy basis. He would have had the controlling hand, without the need for compromise.

These compromises mean that sometimes you have to give up somethings you believe in to show a unified government and the greater good.
