Nick Clegg Promises Not To Raise Tuition Fees To £16,000

[GommeInc]

It is ridiculous he's pledging towards this after the problems he caused at the last election. No one should vote the Liberal Democrats at the next General Election - they're useless, untrustworthy and a wasted vote. They're the 4th largest party for a reason.

[Chippiewill]

Yeah, it might be the same pledge. But he's so so sorry about breaking it last time. I say we trust him. Viva lib dem.

[FlyingJesus]

He can pledge free lions and topless bars on every corner for all the good it'll do him. I don't know (or even know OF) anyone who still supports Lib Dems

It's not really the lies from the politicians that annoy me anymore as it's just accepted - it's the fact that in this thread alone we have two people posting laughing/criticising Clegg for his outright lies, yet I know for a fact at the next election they'll go and out for vote Labour or Conservative.

What's the point in criticising one party for it's lies but then going to vote for another that lies just as badly?

Then who do you vote for in the end if all lie?

[FlyingJesus]

UKIP because they've never lied about anything ever and have no scandals to date duhhhhhhhhh

Well you don't keep voting for the same liars over and over again.

The only way that political parties and politicians can ever learn is by punishing them when they lie, and punishing them severely. The old Canadian Conservative Party is my favourite example of this: it abandoned all of it's principles and so all it's voters (rightly) abandoned it.

If a UKIP government was elected and went back on it's words and promises just like the present lot have then my members card would be binned and I wouldn't vote for them. As interested in politics as I am, I haven't got to vote.

No, but if you didn't I would void any opinions you had on the government and other parties.

Seen the latest Russell Brand video? What a ****.

Not at all, not voting is one of the best acts of freedom somebody can demonstrate. Peter Hitchens has made the point that everybody in the Soviet Union had a vote - yet it was meaningless just as it may be in a democracy when all the parties are the same.

The people to blame aren't those who don't vote for the liars, it's those who keep voting for them.

Agreed aha, somebody wrote in the Telegraph saying he sounds like a schoolboy who has swallowed a theasaurus. Spot on. Or another favourite that I saw in the comments this morning: that Brand is so open-minded that his brain fell out.
