"LIAR LIAR, NICK CLEGG'S ON FIRE!"



"LIAR LIAR, NICK CLEGG'S ON FIRE!"

Clegg's lost his hope for a Liberal Government for the future, and the people who mean the most in terms of voting, are the ones he's lost it to.
If Nick Clegg wanted students to get involved in Politics, that's definitely what he's done. Alongside the riots and petitions, the popular social networking site 'Facebook', has been used to set up groups in an act of everybody getting together to talk about how much of a hypocrite Nick Clegg is. As well as my quoted heading, they vary from “If I got a penny every time Nick Clegg lied, I'd have enough for uni” and “The day Nick Clegg dies because his would-be doctor didn't go to uni”, to “Why did Nick Clegg cross the road? Because he said he wouldn't!” Fooled myself by Nick Clegg's charm, his statements prior the election such as “I think tuition fees are wrong. I think it is wrong to saddle young people with debt” spoken words on ITV's programme 'Dermot meets Nick Clegg', cannot be any more annoying and frustrating.
However worrying it is that I am going to leave university with an even bigger cloud of debt than i'd imagined, it isn't actually what I see the problem is as such. Nick Clegg promising that he'd abolish tuition fees saying “These are the things that make me angry” is the problem. I know the Tories won't let him do so now, but it still makes you a hypocrite to help completely do the opposite. If the Lib Dems cared half as much as Nick Clegg claimed, they'd have protested themselves against the Tories intentions. The only thing Nick Clegg has got out of this is being partially respected by David Cameron, and who cares for that? Who says its going to last?
The only good thing Nick Clegg has caused from this for us is the fact that its getting more students involved in politics. He needs to remember the most important factor though, it's not in support for Lib Dems.
