Liberal Democrats and Tuition Fees - Internal Civil War

BBC News: Reports that the DPM Nick Clegg the Leader of the Liberal Democrats has been supported by a former Liberal Democrat Leader Lord Ashdown over the policy of raising the tuition fees. This is make or break time for Nick Clegg, the voter wont take the Party seriously if the policy is defeated in the House of Commons by Liberal Democrat votes, Mr Clegg has to make sure that those Liberal Democrats in the Cabinet and in Government support the policy. As stated in previous post this is the problem when you have been out of power for decades, lets get to the point, the old Liberals and the Liberal Democrats didn’t matter in the great scheme of things over the years, thus the MPs could take any position they wanted and it would not matter, well today the Lib Dems are in power, they cant have it all, some Liberal Democrats have to grow a backbone, politics is tough, the Liberal Democrats are now in the real world.
