They lost seats in the last election and that was in the midst of 'Cleggmania'. If the Lib Dems couldn't use that to their advantage, they've no hope.<br /><br />One thing we have to remember is that, especially for myself and many of my friends, this election is the first time many people have voted. In the midst of the usual Labour-Conservative shouting match, so many people saw Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems as a breath of fresh air, and the tuition fees pledge WAS the decision breaker for them.<br /><br />With this in mind, coupled with the disillusionment shared by many of my age group towards the main three parties, we're angry. And the Lib Dems will pay for their broken promises. We've had enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
