WE’RE constantly hearing the Liberal Democrats claim they are a restraining influence on their Conservative allies in government.

Perhaps, then, they could tell us why they’re backing these appalling and unfair policies that are hitting thousands of people struggling on low incomes while millionaires in this country have all just been given a massive tax cut? The bedroom tax is especially unfair and certainly hits the most vulnerable hardest. It’s crystal clear whose side Mr Cameron is on. The virtual selling off of our NHS is frankly a national disgrace.

I foolishly voted Lib-Dem last time in the mistaken belief that they were best placed to beat the Conservatives.

I did not expect them to prop up and support the Tories in government.

I feel cheated, betrayed and will never be voting for the Lib-Dems again. ANDREW CARTER Burford Road Witney
