Lib Dem Voice launched our new website – How Liberal / Authoritarian is your MP? – at the party’s spring conference last weekend.

LDV has identified 10 key votes from the 2005-10 Parliament – ranging from ID cards and freedom of speech to freedom of information and trial without jury – in order to rank all MPs according to how liberal or authoritarian their record is. All MPs are marked out of 100: the higher their score the more authoritarian they are. The lower their score the more liberal is their voting record.

Yesterday we noted the 24 Lib Dem MPs who recorded a perfect zero score of 0/100, meaning they had voted on the liberal side of the argument in each of the 10 Commons debates we looked at. Today we’re publishing the full results for Lib Dem MPs:

I want to make a pre-emptive defence in favour of those Lib Dem MPs (including Nick Clegg) at the higher end of the table: what their score in fact means is that they were absent from the House of Commons for 3 or 4 of the votes included in our ranking. In other words, none of them voted in an anti-liberal way. In fact the Lib Dems as a party voted unanimously on each and every one of the 10 key votes we identified; but not all Lib Dem MPs voted in each division.
