On tuition fees apparently. Should there be random drugs tests for politicians?

The annoying thing is that they probably wouldn't be in government but for the students' votes. According to an article I was reading last week, Clegg was never away from the Sheffield Students Union before the election - now they can't contact him. Funny that. Along with his sneaking into Sheffield City Hall when the Sheffield Forgemasters row was at its height this seems to cast into question the moral integrity ( laugh.gif ) of our deputy PM.

Coalition agreement, page 32:

QUOTE
If the response of the Government to Lord Browne’s report is one that Liberal Democrats cannot accept, then arrangements will be made to enable Liberal Democrat MPs to abstain in any vote.


Lib Dem MPs are being actively "whipped" to ignore that.

Money can't buy happiness... but it can buy bacon which is close enough.

Next year, when the Lib Dems lose control of all the councils that they spent decades trying to win and every Lib Dem MPs mind is focussed on the probability of losing their seat, the proverbial will well and truly hit the fan. Clegg, Cable, Alexander and a few others will be lucky if they escape expulsion from the party and others, like Hughes will have to answer why they let all this happen at the same time as not securing the party's long term ambition (of not raison d'etre) of PR in the process.

There's a letter in today's Observer from a Lib Dem MP in which he claims that the Lib Dems are still opposing tuition fees.

This is the "new politics" where you can support a policy while simultaneously opposing it.
If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.
