There is a need for the LIberal Democrats to reassert themselves on the big issues. Currently the Lib Dems are not getting credit for “their policies” that are getting through government because most of the general public are either not noticing what has changed thanks to the Lib Dems, or that it ihas made much difference to them.
NHS reforms, banking reforms, wealth taxes … these will get the Lib Dems noticed. These are issues where the Tories are on the wrong side of the argument, so if they want to push us to the brink, they may find they they are the ones who fall.
It is a question of nerve, and whether the Lib Dems have got it.
There are other issues of course. I was suprised that the Marks thought the economy was doing OK. I would have argued that it is essential the government has a strategy for growth, without which the cuts will get worse.
To be fair, noone in power in the western world is having an easy time right now.
It was good to see Lib Dem child, she has an excellent blog.
Of the three I think I empathise most with the interview by Mark Park – we’re achieving a lot of what Lib Dems have hoped for for a long time, but our policy successes are tempered by the polling damage sustained dealing with difficulties in the economy and a sustained Labour assault on our integrity.
@Andrew Tennant:
So it has nothing to do with your actions, it’s all down to Labour? It has nothing to do with the demonisation of disabled people such as myself who are facing even greater poverty due to LibDems in government? Are you proud of your cuts which mean I, personally, will be choosing between food and heating in winter time while bankers bonuses continue? Do you really think your drop in the polls has nothing to do with your party’s actions, like the disgusting NHS bill which will probably pass, without a whimper from LibDem MPs next week? Have you, Mr. Tennant, ever had to choose between heating and food? I bet not..
It’s such a shame I gave you my vote. Turns out you’re now using that vote to make my life, and the life of many disabled and sick people in the UK much, much worse.
Well, at least Liberal Youth is sticking up for the weak in society..
