Liberal and the coalition

[super jumbe]

I never thought in my entire life that I will able to see the Liberal will ever win the election or even win a coalition election and you can see why they were not trusted they have already annoyed the students and the way The Right Honourable Mr Clegg sticking to his guns the Liberal will be out of Government in the next election and why he had to go on that path instead of keeping us all happy. Well I will explain our University need ?7,000 pa to prevent university closures and the Government is not willing to help University so were can he get the money from?

The thing is and as i mentioned before, it didnt matter which party won the election, serious cuts had to be made due to the massive debt the Labour govmnt had created.

Still, its nice to see that the bankers are still receiving their big bonuses for failure and the MPs are now claiming money on there 3rd homes.

The story goes on & on & on, the rich scrue the country to bankruptcy and the poor are then asked to pay for it!

You'll often hear politicians complain about 'voter apathy', these comments being especially directed towards the young.

The LibDems actively canvassed in university towns and promised that they would represent the interests of students by not raising tuition fees, prior to the General Election.

This is where I have sympathy for the students because, the one time young people are encouraged to vote... they are completely let down by a political party... the LibDems. It was well known at that time that austerity measures would need to be introduced.

And... we've heard all the excuses from the LibDems, the party who formally adopted slogans like .."We're for edufication ..blah blah"

My own view... I think LibDems are just a bunch of liars and definately not to be trusted or put another way.. to be trusted less than the most untrustable..

Badapple the debt has nothing to do with the Labour Government it was all to do with the downfall of the banking system which has caused this massive debt.
I would have thought that 3% income tax rise would have solved our ongoing problem temporally and I always thought were is the money going from our massive income from oil, I think we need some one to look into our financial states because we have the money it?s the people looking after the finances need to be changed and Clegg taking over on student fee is the wrong thing to do.

Funding Higher Education

My own view is... as a country we're sending far too many youngsters into university education.

I just don't understand why Britain would need so many graduates. I feel it has been shown that employers have struggled to get young, fit and healthy people to do the work that is available, in that they've had to rely on imigrant workers. Our young people are all sitting on their bums in classrooms filling their own heads with unrealistic expectations on the most part.

In the past, Britain has afforded 'free' higher education because it was only for the top academic 5-10% of school leavers. As is always the case.. when the masses get the opportunity.... something has to give.

I don't think it is right that people working at the lower end of the economy... doing the poorly paid work should be making tax contributions towards the increased cost of student education... where the figures have increased to past 40%, with government ambitions for 50%.

I suppose if we wanted to have free higher education for all, then one option would be to increase the income tax rate to 60% plus for higher earners. The same higher earners who benefit so much from the British economy and of course higher education. This is a Non-Tory idea, that would never be supported by either Tory, Tory Lib Dem or Tory New Labour.

The top 4 UK banks have assets worth over 450 times the GDP of the UK. We shouldn't be cutting anything.

I phoned the Lib-Dem central office today, and asked if I could have a copy of there manifesto,
they said, "sorry we've sold out",
I said, "I know can I have a copy of your manifesto"

Same place I got mine, by hard graft. Uni is a piece of piss, I had plenty of time between attending classes and studying to go out and earn a wage to pay my way through.

Students don't want to hear that though, I wound up in a class full of the idiots, getting grants and spending every free second in the union bars. If you really want an education you'll get it irrespective of the responsibilities imposed on you.

People just want a comfy ride through it, I feel that totally misses the point! if youve got enough time to be out drinking then youve got plenty of time to put a shift in washing dishes, stacking shelves, moving bricks, shoveling tarmac or wiping arses. I've done em all.

There's a big difference between earning your education and getting handed one if your earning it you generally know your coursework inside and out and genuinely love what your doing.

There where two types of people in my classes, people who understood the fundamentals and realised they paid the lecturers to teach them the advanced things not thoroughly covered in the books, and wee fannies who instead of reading up and going to work wound up pished nightly and dragging the class to a halt.

IE: the ones that got a free ride, so **** em, they don't deserve the facetime with a lecturer and they sure as shit don't deserve to drag classes to a standstill with their inane questions already covered in chapter 9

Don't get confused between a socialist government and a communist one. Only a few years ago most of Europe had socialist governments and it wasn't as bad as it is today.
