Comment on Students in England now graduate with average debt of £53,000, data shows

The lib Dems and Tories decided to fuck over our youth back in the early 2010s

Lib Dems campaigned on a promise of free uni and did the exact opposite when awarded the power to do something about it.

I can’t bring myself to ever trust a word they say again. And anyone that says the Tories stopped them, they were the only thing keeping the Tories in power, they were a VoNC away from potentially preventing 15 years of Tory kleptocracy

Lib Dems campaigned on a promise of free uni … then did the exact opposite and tripled the price when awarded the power to do something about it.

Un-freaking-believable…

I’ve always known the Tories were trash, but I had no idea that there was a whole extra party that were just as bad. Crimony…

  The Lib Dems really aren’t just as bad, they’re actually one of the better major parties. Unfortunately they made a deal with the devil to get a chance at power and the Tories completely fucked them over. That said, Clegg (their leader at the time) then left politics to work for Facebook so maybe he was a bastard all along!

  They did it to get a referendum on a new voting method. They chose a shit one no one wanted though
