Taking a STAND - Nick Clegg to support HIKE in Tuition Fees

BBC News: Reports that the DPM Nick Clegg the Leader of the Liberal Democrats has stated he will vote in the House of Commons on Thursday to raise tuition fees in England. This shows leadership by Nick Clegg, your either in Coalition Government or not, and you have to keep your word when you agree a policy otherwise others in the Coalition will feel free to break their word. One has to wonder how many Conservative MPs might now vote against an AV referendum in 2011, because of the action of those Lib Dems MPs who vote against the Coalition on Thursday. Can this Coalition Government get to 2015, this issue has placed doubts on that outcome, a great help to the Coalition Government is the weakness of Ed Miliband, but how long before Mr Miliband shows firm leadership or is replaced by a new leader, time will only tell, has Mr Clegg a future as Lib Dem Leader.
