Never mind all the Lib Dem MPs and activists coming out against any rise since the deals details were made available, this is the first time in years I've seen NUS actually attack a political party over tuition fees. I couldn't see a single person vote against the amendment reinforcing the Lib Dem position on tuition fees at our Special Conference, and I saw multiple MPs voting in favour of the amendment from where I was sitting. Every time I bring up Labour and how they've repeatedly broken their own promises, it's not them that matters, just the Lib Dems, never mind we'll need the votes of these Labour MPs who have shown they have no respect for students to stop any rise. NUS is treated as a wing of the Labour party by most Lib Dem students, and with good reason. Your article is unfortunately far too accurate. Labour students never seem to understand their party politics does not matter while they're representing students. Unfortunately it comes first and only.Richhttp://aulibdems.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
