Nick Cleggs pre election pledge to students

Nick Clegg's pre-election pledge to students.
The words on the pledge signed by Nick Clegg and every Lib-Dem election candidate reads:
"I pledge
To Vote against any increase in fees in the next parliament and to pressure the government to introduce a fairer alternative"
Signed
Nick Clegg

From the NUS web site:

"Nick Clegg signed the NUS pledge during a visit to the University of Cambridge on the election trail. During the campaign he said:

"Labour and the Conservatives have been trying to keep tuition fees out of this election campaign. It's because they don't want to come clean with you about what they're planning. Despite the huge financial strain fees already place on Britain's young people, it is clear both Labour and the Conservatives want to lift the cap on fees. If fees rise to £7,000 a year, as many rumours suggest they would, within five years some students will be leaving university up to £44,000 in debt. That would be a disaster. If we have learnt one thing from the economic crisis, it is that you can't build a future on debt.

"The Liberal Democrats are different. Not only will we oppose any raising of the cap, we will scrap tuition fees for good, including for part-time students. We can't do it overnight, but we can start straight away with students in their first year - that way means anyone at university this autumn will have their debt cut by at least £3,000. Students can make the difference in countless seats in this election. Use your vote to block those unfair tuition fees and get them scrapped once and for all."
