Revealed: Lib Dems planned before election to abandon tuition fees pledge

Exclusive: Documents show Nick Clegg's public claim was at odds with secret decision made by party in March

"The Liberal Democrats were drawing up plans to abandon Nick Clegg's flagship policy to scrap university tuition fees two months before the general election, secret party documents reveal.

As the Lib Dem leader faces a growing revolt after this week's violent protest against fee rises, internal documents show the party was drawing up proposals for coalition negotiations which contrasted sharply with Clegg's public pronouncements."

    Lots of little bit of info are comming out about the Lib dems now, Thay played labour and the torys off agenst each other, They dont seem to know what they wont, or when thay wont it. Lots of chatter and remarks from the back benchers about clegg and his front bench lib team.
    The lib party just seems so put of place in Gov. If thay had got into bed with Labour i think it would be the same.
    They really need to get there act together.

    Soory it just seems this way to me.
    :jYou can have everything you wont in lfe, If you only help enough other people to get what they wont.:j
  • This Government got in through lies, lies and more lies Tory lies and liberal lies so they got in through false pretences and as such we should be able to go back to the polls..........Like that will happen!
    This is the most controlling, dictatorial Government that we have had in years :mad: :mad:
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
