I can’t quite read the article but it depends a bit on what the “fundamental rethink” will involve!

The first thing that’s cheered this Lib Dem up in a while. We have a comprehensive coalition agreement. If it’s not in the agreement, we don’t want it, and we’re not getting something in return, block it! This is exactly the right issue to make a stand on as it’s one of the issues which will draw supporters in and remind them what the Lib Dems are about – well done Nick Clegg and Julian Huppert.

Great news; once a society sells it key values down the river to beat extremism, then extremism has won.

Hooray!

Thanks Mark – this seems a lot clearer that “fundamental rethink” = “bin” 🙂
