Subject: RE: BS: Students march against tuition fees UK
If one person is responsible for the situation that occurred yesterday more than any other, that person is Nick Clegg
He has been elected under false pretences, he has blatantly broken an absolutely cast-iron election promise
He should resign as leader of his party and seek a by-election in his constituency
He brings the good name of British politics into disrepute
THAT should be the new rallying call because, as stated above, if you elect people for one thing and once elected they do something completely different then the democratic process is worthless.
Important and real as it may be to many people the battle against student fees pales into insignificance against the battle for democracy.
