The Lib Dems don't HAVE to agree, the whole point of having the seats is that each seat gets their input on a particular matter, so if they disagree, they're free to voice that opinion and stop things getting passed.
And anyway, the Tories have to be damn careful, because if Cameron does anything Clegg doesn't like, then he can call a vote of no confidence, and I can guarantee that the Tories will be out quicker than you can sneeze.

I love that kind of system. Hopefully he'll be out before the new year.

He won't be able to make the cuts yet. You will still be able to go to uni in September, as long as you already qualify for the loan. He might get rid of them for the people who start, but will still fund those that are already there. If that's the case, then you should be safe, however, I probably won't be able to go to it, which REALLY sucks.

I don't think he'll be able to legitimately make that change for a couple years yet, it takes time and a lot of red tape to change something like that, at least to the best of my knowledge. =/
I'm thinking of a new slogan for the Lib Dems too, how's this?:
"A vote for Lib Dem is a vote for Conservative!"
General public: "Wait, what?"

I hope Cleggy realizes that a hung parliament/coalition government is the only way he'll get a say in the running of the country.
IF there was another election, would any of you change who you voted for.
Like most of us on here voted in the General Election for Lib Dem... would you change to Labour? or stick to Lib Dem?

I don't know so much about British politics, but chances are I would vote Tory if I lived in the UK. And after so many years of Labour government I think it's time for a change. One party should not be alloved to govern for too long, and especially not Labour.
It looks like the majority here likes Labour and a few likes Lib. Dem. I might be the only one who (probably) would have voted Tory. So start to hate me now hehe.

I feel a bit sorry for Gordon too, although I don't like him as person.Ebony;224254 said:

I recall a joke a while back relating to the Thatcher effect with the Tory government, but I think it can be rephrased to fit David Cameron.
"How do you describe the Cameron Effect?"
"You take the country, bend it over and give it one until it's eyes water."

Well, I reckon so... almost everyone else I've talked to personally about the election agrees there will be a general election within the next year. Although it depends on whether this coalition gets anything done - in terms of policy and ethic the Lib Dems and the Tories are practically opposed. If it seems as though the coalition is hindering the government's ability to do its job, they'll ask the public again to 'choose' a party, hoping for a clear majority next time.
What bugs me is that a coalition, as clunky as it can be, is technically more democractic - and it's what the people of this country have voted for using the system provided. But in short while they'll be asking the public to vote again, because the result isn't satisfactory, or won't result in a 'strong' enough government (we're so used to the 'benign dictatorship' and fast-paced whip driven politics it isn't even expected that a coalition can work here). Remember Ireland and the EU Lisbon treaty referendum recently? "Nope you didn't vote the 'right' way that time, just have another go at that..."
Ugh. >_<
