Still annoys me when people get irritated over the Lib Dems forming a coalition with the Conservatives.

The results of the 2010 election left no possible way of them siding with Labour to form a coalition, there simply wouldn't have been enough seats to form a majority, and then they'd have had to have gained the support of smaller parties like the SNP (whom will have all demanded ridiculous compromises and financial incentives for Scotland, Wales etc...which wouldn't have gone down well nationally at all) and formed some sort of rainbow coalition, which would've been a disaster waiting to happen.

Put yourselves in Nick Clegg's shoes. An opportunity to at last have some kind of real political power, and you'd turn it down? I don't think so. And put it this way...as bad as a lot of the policies introduced by the new government have been, I think we should, as someone has rightfully pointed out already, be thankful that the Lib Dems are at least present within this coalition. I dread to think how bad things could've been under a Tory majority. This is essentially a watered down Conservative government, and that is far better than a fully fledged one.

Exactly jack the liberal MP's are not letting the conservatives sneak in policies that benefit their fatcat friends, and make sure any dodgy dealings are not swept under the carpet but shouted from the rooftops (or leaked to the press at least) haha

I had no problem at all with the Lib Dems forming a coalition with the Conservatives, I believed the Conservatives appeared to have the best policies to deal with the deficit.I didn't like their policies as to the NHS and also on tuition fees,I also had reservations as to where the cuts should fall,that is why I felt I couldn't vote with my first ever vote for the Conservatives and no way could I have voted for Labour in May 2010.

I was though along with other students, near stalked by Lib Dem activists and also candidates for my vote, a group of us also had a session with a Lib Dem MP, who assured us that if the Conservatives got an overall majority,they would likely double tuition fees.
The promise we got was that no Lib Dem MP would ever vote to increase tuition fees to double those fees in Parliament.
Then there was even a signed pledge from Clegg and others to that effect done in public.

On the strength of that pledge and those guarantees,I voted Lib Dem,coalition however should be about compromise, the Conservatives planned to at least double the fees, the Lib Dem policy was to abolish them altogether.
Where the then compromise was in the Lib Dems dropping their plans to abolish the fees and then to not only allow the fees to be doubled but in fact to be trebled is beyond my understanding and belief.
I feel I was misled by the Lib Dems, my vote was got under false pretences by them,that they betrayed the trust I put in them and are abusing the power given to them by that trust of all their voters in 2010.

They have supported other things I disagree with strongly,how in a coalition agreement there could be a policy of top to bottom, across the board reform on the NHS when the Conservatives promised there would be no across the board reform but also then for the Lib Dems to support any reform of it when they had nothing as to it in their manifesto is also beyond belief,it is also wrong in my opinion.
That is in the main why I am against the Lib Dems now, just as are near half their voters from 2010 too. It is also why, I personally will give my time and vote to any party to keep the Lib Dems out of seats and to get them out as MPs/Councillors wherever and whenever I can.

I for one, and I know a great many people who feel the same, will never even consider voting Lib Dem again while the current batch of false MPs are the hierarchy of the party.
Not for joining a coalition with the Conservatives but for the reasons I have outlined and explained above.

They sold themseleves and their party out for a few miserable Ministerial positions and some extra salaries, then they make sure they can stay there for the full 5 years too, so terrified are they of facing the voters they in fact deceived in all likelihood.

Just to clarify; no issue with those who dislike the Lib Dems as a result of policies that have been introduced since the coalition was formed. Although again, I must stress, things could have been a lot worse...I have no doubt about that.

The issue I have was or is with those who disliked them from the very minute the coalition agreement was signed, simply because they didn't want them to 'get into bed' with the Tories, when as I explained, realistically, they had no other choice.

I hope you are not referring to me jack... If it is you have misinterprated what I said.

I agree with you on that completely, Labour was soundly rejected, no way should they have been given any lifeline from the Lib Dems, they could in effect only form a viable coalition with the Conservatives. I supported that move.

Harry! · 04-05-2012, 08:05 PM

If I was old enough I would have voted Conservative
