Re the LibDems pledge.....

How is this different from the Labour promises in 1997 (T. Blair, 14th April, Evening Standard "Labour has no plans to introduce tuition fees for higher education") and 2001 (Manifesto - We will not introduce top-up fees and have legislated to prevent them) to not introduce tuition fees, and not to increase them?

Or is there a major difference between a promise, a pledge, and a Manifesto commitment?
