That doesn't seem to be what the reporters are saying tho? They've all been saying how a lot of tory MPs are actually upset about making too much concessions?

How does that reflect badly on Clegg? Would seem to indicate he's done quite well in the negotiations?

Or are we all being led a merry dance by the media? Do you have inside sources to indicate that the Lib Dems are going to push through a largely un-altered Conservative manifesto?

It's nonsense though. The tax on fuel just goes to the Exchequer. Surely they cannot expect us to believe it will be spent 'saving the planet'?

It's a behaviour altering tax, through high fuel taxation the aim would be to force more and more people out of their cars. The tories had a very nice fuel stabiliser plan which would make for a much fairer system of taxation... I should imagine it's probably gone now though :(

In theory it might be, but the reality is different isn't it? I need to drive so I'll pay what I have to. Fuel isn't too expensive for us at the moment, but I'm sure we'll feel it when my wife stops work to have our baby :(

Well not really, it just crushes the haulage industry and criples the economy resulting in higher prices for quite literally everything which needs to be put on a lorry to get to the shop. But don't let a little thing like the economy get in the way of all this carbon bs.

lot's of his votes were to keep the tories out, by by lib dem.

What about the Lib dem voters who voted Lib Dem to keep Labour out? Do their views not count because they don't agree with yours? :)

By all accounts the party is split three ways, those that don't like Labour, those that don't like Conservatives and those that don't like either.

I didn't even consider the impact on the haulage industry - you're quite right. I think if the public saw the tax being spent on the purpose it was collected, then that might not feel so bad.

I'm still a cynic when it comes to the environment though, there's far too much opportunity for vested interests to spin what they like.
