Liberal Democracy - the double-edged sword

The current coalition government is hardly a proper coalition. It is really, to most intents and purposes, a Conservative government by the back door, with extra Liberal Democrat flavouring thrown in. Those Lib Dem ministers who supported the fee rises have their cross to bear, but the rest are pretty much helpless. Unfortunately, the Lib Dems with their previously trenchant views on education, are taking the rap for what is basically a Conservative policy.

It is in many ways, the best of times and the worst of times for the Liberal Democrats.
