My gripe this election is not with the Tories,they are doing what their policy was stated as (although I consider it wrong especially on the NHS),the wrong thing is that they have got no mandate to do the policies from the voters.
I believed Clegg when he said the only voice that matters is the voters, that MPs have to be accountable to the voters and after the expenses scandal that trust had to be restored in politics.
I am not joking when I say that many Students were almost stalked by Lib Dem candidates and party workers stressing the importance of voting against the Tories to stop increases in tuition fees and to make sure the recovery was not put at risk with Tory savage cuts in the first year.
I trusted their word and promises,they got mine and many other first time voters votes and then they used the power in the seats they got to give to the Tories what the voters would not, an overall mandate to do their cuts right away and tripling tuition fees.
That to me is getting votes under false pretences.
Who to vote for as to myself in the future is now easy though, I will vote to get rid of or defeat any Lib Dem candidate and for any party that can beat them in the seat I vote in. I will also help any party in by elections anywhere to defeat the Lib Dem candidate while Clegg is leader.
You are right indeed and I greatly respect your opinion and experience of politics, it would seem they are all in the main liars and toe rags, that shouldn't be how it is in the UK and for me a promise is a promise and the Lib Dems under Clegg have broken enough for and to me that will make me avoid voting for them likely ever again.
Thank you for your enlightenment to your experience of the Thatcher era too, I found what you said interesting,thank you for sharing that.

Thank you. The Lib dems under Clegg have shown amazing stupidity. If ever the Lib party hoped in the future to form a government in their own right by winning seats they would have to do it via winning the minds and hearts of new generations......Oldies like me and younger oldies will stick mainly to their chosen political beliefs. Not enough floating voters for the libs to gain many more seats than now.
So what do the lib dick heads do they alienate their future......The young ones by decieving and betraying them.......They have destroyed their own political future to placate a bunch of right wing slash and burn loonies with their same old failed slash and burn policies.
I watched Clegg on tv this afternoon on question time. Sitting behind the puppet master Cameron. Clegg nodding his little lap dog head like one of those nodding dogs in the back of a car. If only he realized what a complete idiot he looks. He looks like a tory. he thinks like a tory. He beahaves like a tory and still he doesn't understand why lib voters are abandoning his party.
The lib dems politically are to the left of labour and yet they get into bed with right wing loonies...Cameron must lose a lot of sleep at night laughing his head off at such mugs in the lib party.
Truth is Clegg and his cronies are not in with the tories to save the country they are in it to savour power for themselves.....
