His apology is over 2 years too late, he has at last heard that people on his Councillors doorsteps are still moaning about this,
There are loads of other things he has to apologise for too, not just this issue.

Coalition Govt should be about compromise,the Lib Dems warned the Conservatives would if they got an overall majority at least double tuition fees, his party would never support that, also that his policy was to abolish the fees altogether.

Where in any sense of the word is there any compromise in then voting to support the trebling of tuition fees.
Students before the increase could expect to have to pay just over half of a years salary back when eligible to do so.
Under this new level, they will have to pay nearer a year and a quarters salary back when eligible.

He is a total hypocrite and now as we move well and truly into the last expected half of this miserable coalitions existence he decides to now say sorry after spending the last year or so ging on about how it is time to move on from the tuition fees saga.

For a few miserable Ministerial positions and to be able to say the Lib Dems had shared power after so long,also with for himself a title of Deputy PM that the Conservatives had no intention of having anyway, they don't now even have a Deputy Leader.(William Hague would have deputised for David Cameron). He allowed the principles of the Lib Dems to be near completely sold out and abandoned.
He has allowed a hard hammer to be taken to the weakest,poorest and most vulnerable in society so this apology to me is meaningless.

His party will be hammered at the next election, he,if he doesn't lose his seat,will resign from it soon after and head off to a handsomely paid job in Europe.
Good riddance to him for me and I hope re-runs of the last election are regularly shown to the voters at the next election to remind them of the false and meaningless staements that the Lib Dems under Clegg will say.

Under Clegg,the Lib Dems have little or no credibility left,his apology is as much baloney as his promises are.
(Yes for my sins I trusted and voted for him last time, never ever again though).
