You see it's this whole tuition fee thing which does expose the somewhat childish nature of the Lib Dem support. All this "you broke your promise." Well yes, in absolute terms they did.

But they went into government as the junior partners in a coalition, at a time when stable government was critical to an economy which was teetering on the edge of a particularly steep and unpleasant cliff. So, having done that suddenly they are the (junior) party of government, neither party got all their policies through, both had elements that complained about it.

But they took the hard choice, they were in government, they were no longer the recipient of the protest vote whinging on the sidelines, they tempered the slash and burn ideological wing of the Tory Party and in thanks their supporters abandoned them in droves, and voted, largely it seems for the conservatives. I hope they're happy with what they've got.
