The vote poses a crucial test of the viability of the Conservative-led partnership with the Liberal Demo- crats and casts an uncomfortable spotlight on Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who like other Liberal Democrat candidates signed a pre- election pledge to oppose any such hike. In the coalition agreement, the Liberal Democrats reserved the right to abstain in any vote to raise tuition fees. That created an awkward position for Business Secretary Vince Cable, a Liberal Democrat, who at one point sug- gested he might abstain from voting for the proposal eventhough itcame from his office. While Some Liberal Democrats in the House of Commons have declared their opposition, but that is unlikelyto blockthe hike. "The real danger for the govern- ment is not that they won't pass it through, but that it will be a policy fiasco," said Patrick Dunleavy, pro- fessor of political science at the Lon- don School of Economics. "By picking this fight with the student body ... the government seems to have gotten itself into choppy water," he said. All of this has made Clegg one of the least popular politicians on uni- versity campuses. Prime Minister David Cameron's government defends the move as a painful necessity to deal with a record budget deficit and a sputter- ing economy. To balance its books, the U.K. passed a four-year package of spending cuts worth 81 billion pounds ($128 billion), which will lead to the loss of hundreds of thou- sands of public sector jobs and cut or curtail hundreds of government programs. The government proposed rais- ing the maximum university tuition fees in England from 3,000 pounds (about $4,700) a year to 9,000 pounds (about $14,000). Students reacted with mass protests that have been marred by violence and have paralyzed some campuses. Reacting to the protests, the gov- ernment modified its plan by raising ARBOR PROPERTIES.
