On the Lib Dems
If you were to spend your life reading nothing but blogs you would get a pretty strange view of the Lib Dems. You would think they were 'After the BNP, the most vile, dishonest party that has graced UK politics ever', their spokesman 'pointless indivduals', and that their members discuss politics a lot.If on the other hand you read other forms of media, such as our oldest daily national newspaper, you might get a different opinion, on how vile they are;
"The Lib Dems are no longer just the temporary home for protest votes by people with widely divergent views. Repeated polls show that there is now a growing identity between the policies of the party and the opinions of their supporters: anti-war; sympathetic to asylum-seekers; pro-Europe; in short, liberal Britain. So the Lib Dems offer a home for disillusioned former Labour supporters (notably educated professionals) and for those not yet, or ever, ready to switch to the Tories. "
on their relevance,
"The surefootedness of Sir Menzies Campbell, the Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesman, in handling Iraq in countless media interviews has done the party a lot of good. "
and on...well ok.. they do discuss politics a lot.
