Why the Liberal Democrats support the Health and Social Care Bill?

I never really understood why the Liberal Democrats were so supportive of the Health and Social Care Bill.

Until now.

The silence from what used to be a Liberal leaning party in allowing such an illeberal piece of legislation through has been surprising.

Until now.

But what has happened?

This has come to light. Accumulated money of half a million pounds given to the Liberal Democrats by a private healthcare firm. The firm is called Alpha Health care. They are likely to benefit from the new Bill. Probably significantly.

It all adds up. £££££££.

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

The Welsh Liberal Democrats will remain an opposition party, despite their., but had forced difficult decisions, but supported the "general thrust" of the budget.
