LIBERAL DEMOCrats

Prior to the 2010 the Liberal Democratic Party seemed to offer something different to the UK electorate.

Some of the party’s positive points were…

1.  In the absence of a proper opposition (since the Labour Party went from red to lavender in the 1990s) the Liberal Democrats were actually more left wing on many points than the Labour Party. 
2. They offered a new vision of working together for a better future. 
3. They promised an ‘End to broken promises’. 
4.  They offered a clear guarantee on student funding. 
5.  They offered a fairer electoral system. 
6.  They offered the promise of a federal United Kingdom. 
7.  Mr ‘read my lips’ Clegg promised that the party would never go into coalition with the Conservatives. 
8.  They therefore promised real change.

What actually happened was the Liberal Democrats sold out. As part of the coalition agreement…

1. They ditched the vast majority of their left wing promises. 
2.  They decided to work together for a worse future by virtually giving the Conservatives a free reign over everything except a select few items. 
3.  They broke almost every promise they made. 
4.  The guarantee on student funding turned out to be a lie and was ditched at the first opportunity. They should have been done under the trade descriptions act. 
5.  The electoral system offered as part of the coalition agreement was no fairer (indeed arguably even less fair) than the existing one. 
6.  They ditched the federal United Kingdom. 
7.  They went into coalition with the Conservatives. 
8.  They have merely removed some of the nastiness from some of the Conservatives policies but any positive changes they have achieved have been minimal.

 

The Liberal Democrats have therefore have proved themselves to be in many ways just as bad as the others, if not even worse, as you cannot trust them at all.

For people in England what is the choice? There are only 3 parties likely to gain power and all have sold people out. This is except for the rich, and those with shares or owners of big corporations.

At least in Scotland there is a 4^th realistic option.

stop the government from taking disabilty benefit people

Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions

This petition is to ask the government to stop its current work on changing and removing disability benefits from disabled peoples lives before it gets able-bodied unemployed people and people it put on the disabled list to massage figures from 1980's-present day and to leave disability benefit for those that deserve it and re-instate it for those that deserve it and have lost it. Possibly they could change tactics and chase bankers with huge pensions, tax dodgers and thieves that stole tax payer money to recover the money they are trying to take from disabled people during a time that the cost of living is rising to an all time high in the middle of a recession.

DOES MR CLEGG REALLY THINK WE ARE THAT DAFT?

Mr Clegg’s latest attempt at hood-winking the British public into forgiving for selling him, his party, students, sick and ill people on benefits, etc. etc. down the river really defies belief. Does he really think we are all that daft?

I think its more like that his promises go up in smoke so why is this ‘sorry’ any more valid than his original one shown in this video…

It doesn’t get him out of his moral high ground shown in this video that I posted on my blog …
