BBC News: Reports on the Student protest in London today against the tuition fees raise planned by the Coalition Government. This is a real test for the Coalition Government and more important a test of leadership for Nick Clegg, the Lib Dems are split down the middle on this issue, in the vote it is expected that those Lib Dems in the Government will vote for the change, while others will abstain or vote against the change in the tuition fees. It is thought that the Government will win, but the real question is how long can the Coalition Government go on, if Lib Dems vote against the change they are breaking the Coalition deal between the Lib Dems and the Conservative Party, it can be argued that Tories might feel they have the right to oppose a AV vote next year. Once a word is broken you never trust the Party again, that is the hard fact of political life folks.
