What do you suggest though joey? Sure, the Lib Dems have gone back on their pledge but I think we all knew that was inevitable when the coalition was formed. It was a marriage of convenience, of practicality, and there would always have to be significant compromises considering the differences in idealogy
Lib Dem voters may not like it but at the end of they day we were left with 3 options following the election, either:
We have a Tory minority government, and be left without a strong government when we were in such need of one
A Lib-Lab minority government which would leave us with the same problem, and also an unelected Prime Minister
The Con-Lib coalition, giving the country the Prime Minister they wanted more than any other, and a strong majaority government
Neither of those were good choices, noone wants a hung parliament, but the Con-Lib coalition was the best option in my opinion. The Lid Dem voters may be unhappy but the reality is that if they weren't in government they'd be sitting there with their 50-odd seats, and have very little say in matters. So while the students may be unhappy, they should face up to the reality of the situation if you ask me
