And I don't blame them, what's a policy when compared to the principle of suffrage. When you look at the placards and listen to the sentiments I think it goes without saying that they are, of course, strongly opposed to the fee changes and this is why they voted libdem en masse in the first place. BUT the anger and protest seems to me to be much more about their sharp lesson as to the pitiful state of democracy when someone can with impunity can knowingly lie to secure your vote, YOUR VOTE FFS!!! Yes, we all know it's always been thus but not so obviously? I know that's why I'm supporting their protests regardless of my views on tuition fees. Is this the common focus that makes the student protests as dangerous for the government as the poll tax IMO. I blummin' well hope so.

To think students are more angry that their votes have been stolen than they are about fees ?
