Liberal Democrats are sell out.

How dare they 'pledge' to cancel tuition fees, then agree to raise them

Well when everyone thought they would never get into parliament, they had to spew out anything to get any glimmer of support. But the only way to keep tuition fees the same is to dramaticly cut out all the crap courses. But of course everyone would complain even though a degree has now losts its value becuase of Labour's stupid idea that 50% go to University. I would prefer we go back to pre-1997 levels of University courses. Anyway you still don't have to pay upfront and the recomendations have not been confirmed yet.

And last time I checked... football fans and politics don't really mix.

Honestly though, there are some ridiculous degrees available for people. Just briefly going through UCAS now, courses available

• Wine studies
• Womenswear
• Yacht design

ect..

The liberal democrats actually got worse overall results then they did in the 05 general elections. They only got into power because the Scottish majority (who loath tories) voted for labour. I was extremely pleased to see the bnp completely fail again though.

Yeah everyone bottled it when it came to voting but then again they still got in

edit: on about the lib dems not the bnp

I don't really vote, don't really think it matters anymore. MNC's control government nowadays imo. Its all business. Party platforms on what really effects me at ground level isn't that different from party to party so I really don't see the reason to vote. Plus I hate all the current leaders of ever party. May just vote greenparty to piss everyone off, lol.

And I am a third year Political Science major.... I'm clearly studying the right thing! (lol, sarcasm)

I don't believe in the UK's political system... largely because the current government is one no-one voted for. It's funny how the third most-voted party, the Lib Dems, held the ace card and whoever they elected to form a coalition with would eventually become the next government. I don't like David Cameron at all. He says that he is middle class If he's middle class, I'd hate to see what he'd call some of the ex-mining communities in Leicestershire!

I had a teacher going on a rant about the pension age and how the Torries/Dems are f*cking everything up. When I asked her who she voted she simply replied "I didn't", I don't think she should complain then..

That being said, how I wish people here would recreate the French strikes. Imagine stopping the fuel supply to Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton & Stansted = Chaos!
