Despite the Observer’s best efforts, it is hard to see what the Lib Dems have actually done wrong here. Indeed, given how high minded the “serious” press are being about smears at the moment, it is surprising to see an article so riddled with innuendo. So let’s clear a few points up. Firstly, there

Article by Stephen Tall from Lib Dem Voice: This is a slightly interesting article, because it confirms that the Lib Dem campaign in Oldham and Saddleworth has seen the sort of all out mobilisation for a by-election that the Lib Dems are famous for. There is clearly no reluctance from Lib Dem activists to defend the record

Alex Singleton has written a wonderfully charmless little attack post on about the state of Lib Dem blogosphere (it is always nice to find an article like this has been written by someone I have already dismissed as an idiot). Leaving aside the usual crap about the Lib Dems not standing for anything (bizarrely, he seems

According to Adam Price the new MORI poll giving the Tories 52%, Labour 24% and the Lib Dems 12% if turned into seats at Westminster would give the SNP-Plaid group 25-30 seats, making them the third force in UK politics and leaving the Lib Dems in the wilderness. According to Blog Menai the poll leaves the Lib Dems with 8 seats. The silver line in the Lib Dems' cloud is that once again they

A vote for the Lib Dems is a vote for the Lib Dems. It is not a vote for the Conservative or Labour Parties. It is not a way of ‘Letting Gordon in through the backdoor’, or of tacitly consenting to a Cameroonian ‘DIY’ society. It is a vote for the Lib Dems. Since the debates,

Have you started using LibDig yet? Either to highlight an article, blog-post or video for other Lib Dems; or simply to enjoy reading what other Lib Dems have found online.

With New Labour so unpopular, many members are tempted to vote Lib Dem, in the belief that they would pursue less Tory policies. A story carried by the Birmingham Post highlights how the Lib Dems try to be all things to all people, and are no friends of trade unionists. Not only are the Lib Dems...

The Lib Dems are hated by all the other parties, but not for their politics ( though much of that is objectionable ). No the Lib Dems are hated for their hypocrisy. Chris Huhne is the high priest of nasty the nasty cult of Lib Demery. So the cheer from the whole country when he was charged with lying is still echoing around the drinking holes of Westmin...

In some ways the tactical mistakes of the Lib Dems, having decided to go into Coalition, could be put down to experience - the lack of it. The Lib Dem pitch, even before Lib Dems existed, was an alternative. An alternative to what ? Their answer has been "what have you got?" ( with apologies to James Dean ). This tactic has been part of their strategy of building up support from opposition. The pr...
