Time to make MPs keep their Promises

UWESU supports the campaign to make MPs keep their promises on Tuition Fees.

Education Campaigns

"At the general election, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg made much of the need for politicians "to be more honest" and "for promises to be kept". The Liberal Democrats also suggested that a new 'right to recall' procedure should be introduced whereby MPs who break promises or are found guilty of impropriety would be vulnerable to a constituency petition of 10%. That MP would then face an immediate by-election.

The 'right to recall' promise itself sadly represents another broken promise by the Liberal Democrats, and may never actually be introduced. However, in order to show the strength of feeling by the voting public against those MPs who vote for the raising of University tuition fees and/ or for the scrapping of the Education Maintenance Allowance, we ask you to sign up to call for them to be recalled – this way, perhaps this broken promise can be put to some use!
