Every Tory I have spoken to this week has said the same thing, ‘aren’t the Lib Dems having a terrible time.’ The Tories are particularly happy because they see the Lib Dems’ credibility on economics taking a bartering thanks to the total confusion over Cable’s proposed new tax on million-pound homes. They also think that the new Lib Dem policy will hurt the Lib Dems i...

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

They look like Lib Dem, they dree like like Lib Dems but act like the Tories.

So - my old partner in crime is leaving the Lib Dems! Mark Pack - my campaign manager who masterminded the Lib Dem strategy in Haringey and Hornsey & Wood Green and who has been at Lib Dem HQ forever - is going to become an Associate Director at Mandate PR. I think they are well lucky to get him! He is such a brilliant man! Can't imagine what the Lib Dems will do without him. But I think it will b...

Amateur hour at the Lib Dem youth crime policy launch in Camden Town today, where the Lib Dems launched their national policy on youth crime at a youth centre which suffered funding cuts by the Camden Lib Dem administration... writes Camden Labour Councillor Theo Blackwell  New Lib Dem national policy on youth crime is in tatters today after bungling Lib Dem Home Affairs spokesperson Chris Hu...

Lib Dem Voice has got a bit random with this pile of steaming tosh talking up the fantasy of prospects of a hung parliament boosting the Lib Dem cause electorally, followed by an inevitable introduction of electoral reform. With the major parties vying for support from the Lib Dem franchisees, whether they are "Beverage", mostly drinking alone in the strangers bar, or non dipsoid "Orangers" ready ...

I'm assuming you've had your Lib Dem leaflet? Never let it be said that they are a party who found a vote winning strategy and discarded it too early. I refer, of course, to their infamous graphs. Now, even under normal circumstances Lib Dem graphs can be, shall we say, ingenious with the truth when they have to be. They are dead keen to show that only the Lib Dems can win any particular election ...

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...

Although he denies it with weasel words, the conclusion of Stephen Tall from Lib Dem Voice is that the Lib Dems need to steer to the right to appeal more to Tory voters, as their credibility with centre-left voters is now ripped to shreds. The general intuitive assumption is this: many Lib Dem voters have switched their

Is this a harmless poll or the grass roots being sounded out? Previous Lib/Lab coalitions are, in my opinion the main reason why the Lib Dems are still the third party in British politics, as when things get bad for Labour the Lib Dems jump in. By accepting coalitions in the past they have sewn themselves into the position of the Third Party. Should the possibility arise, I hope the Lib Dems take ...
