Carry on playing with words and doing the shock-horror act if it makes you feel better FB, but the political agenda has moved on and, this measure having been dealt with at the very beginning of a 5-year Parliament, in the grand scheme of things it is unlikely to make very much difference at all to the political landscape. |
Except that the Lib Dems are going to have to work hard to get re-elected at council level and possibly at national level.

Peers have backed government plans to raise student tuition fees in England to as much as £9,000 a year.
Labour tried to throw out the proposals, which were passed by MPs last week, but the opposition amendment was defeated by 283 votes to 215.
The House of Lords' decision means that the higher fees are expected to come into force from 2012.
