The abolition of the EMA is absolutely unjustifiable and highlights the Conservatives' taste for targeting the poor. Unlike the raising of the university fees, only for England
, which they often explain away (with loans and higher repayment thresholds), there is simply no justification for abolishing EMA. They think they can target the one of the poorest and politically powerless groups of society like this and see this as an oppertunity to reduce the governments bills.The roughly £ 550 mil. scheme is to be replaced with a £180 mil scheme alternative.
P.S: The shameless Lib Dems have sold themselves out to the Concervatives, abandoning anything and everything they sttod for in the process. All for a few seats in political office which, being the lib dems, they knew they would otherwise never obtain. The leadership of the lib dems sold out their entire party for their political ambitions. They are the true and only losers in this coalition.
