Now That's What You'll Do. Have you Got That Nick?
Fib-Dem leader Nick Clegg has decided that he along with other Fib-Dem M.P.'s could abstain rather than vote on tuition fees, being presented to Parliament by his colleague and Fib-Dem Secretary of State for Business, Vince Cable.
Now those of us in politics know from past experience, Fib-Dem's tend to sit on the fence, generally saying and doing one thing in one area, then doing the exact opposite next door. Nailing them down is generally difficult across the city, but TUITION FEES is a national issue, where they promised to students, current and future and have since reneged on it.
Now for those of you thinking that the bill in Parliament could be defeated in the commons, think again. Those Fib-Dem ministers and Secretary of States will not want to risk their large salaries, so will probably "sit on their hands", allowing others in their party to vote against, in an attempt to save face, regardless, it's a Fib-Dem Government bill, a charge of £9,000 a year on each student and their family, enabling only those who can afford too, to gain a degree.Read more here;
