    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!
