The lib Dems and Tories decided to fuck over our youth back in the early 2010s

Lib Dems campaigned on a promise of free uni (it had gotten to about £3k a year at the time, up from the less than £1k a year the previous generation had got) then did the exact opposite and tripled the price when awarded the power to do something about it.

I can't bring myself to ever trust a word they say again. And anyone that says the Tories stopped them, they were the only thing keeping the Tories in power, they were a VoNC away from potentially preventing 15 years of Tory kleptocracy and all the damage they caused (and that's without going into how those Tory governments repeatedly normalised increasingly far-right positions)

At best they're entirely useless at worst they're just another shade of Tory

    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!
