The Politics of Tuition Fees - Nick Clegg

Telegraph: Reports that the DPM Nick Clegg regrets opposing tuition fees while in Opposition. That is the problem for the Liberal Democrats, since 1922 with the exception of WW2 and the National Government of the 1930s the Liberals have not had to deal with real politics, they could jump on any popular opposition course while knowing they didn’t have to govern, NOW its is different, they are part of a Coalition Government, their words have consequences, thus this should be lesson to Ed Miliband the new Labour Leader, while in Opposition be careful what you oppose it might come back to hit you on the backside should you return to Government. The students of today will have to follow the US model, they will have work, no longer a free handout from the Government, if they want to blame anyone look at Labour, they left no money behind.

1st Republican Debate of 212 at Reagan Presidential Library

The New York Times Blog: Reports that the 1st Republican Debate of the Presidential Election of 2012 will be held at the Reagan Presidential Library in 2011. In was very interesting seeing the debate in 2008, the Reagan Library holds the old Air Force One, the one used by President Reagan. The contenders for the Republican nomination will be able to look up and see the PRIZE, Air Force One and Marine One and the Limo. Its far to early to say who is in the running, the eventual winner might just have got elected to the Congress or is a new State Governor, miles to go folks, politics has just got fun with a Republican House.
