RESPONDING further to Ann Raymond’s (Warrington Lib Dems Party chairman) Opinion, Guardian , May 29, ‘Assure voters we work hard’, she says: “We shall be going into those communities over the coming year to explain what Liberal Democrats can do and to provide an alternative viewpoint.”

I would like to suggest that it’s going to be yet another very hard sell on the door steps of Warrington for the Lib Dems to now explain their u-turn on the much-hated bedroom tax.

Nick Clegg, as a Lib Dem MP, as the Lib Dem Leader and as the Deputy Prime Minister, has finally agreed the crippling penalties of the bedroom tax are battering the poorest in society after the Department for Work and Pensions analysis found the tax, brought in to cut benefits to households that have spare rooms, has failed.

Nick Clegg has announced that he will push for change before next year’s general election and has indicated he will make ditching it a Lib Dem manifesto pledge.

But can he be trusted after his last pre-election pledge to oppose any increase in tuition fees, as we know that once he found himself in a Tory-led coalition, he reneged on it?

Something tells me that there’s an election round the corner and this type of hypocritical politics is what is turning the electorate away from the voting booths and politics.

My advice to Ann Raymond is to get the Lib Dems to ditch Nick Clegg as their leader before the next General Election.
