  • Have just joined the Lib Dems as I believe they are the only trustworthy political party. Vince Cable, Danny Alexander and Nick Clegg are, in my opinion, our three best known national politicians and I hope they will continue to make loud and honest commentary on what the Lib Dems have done in coalition and what they will do when re-elected.

    Glad to see Vince saying this on TV.

    Not so glad to see Jeremy Browne saying something different on TV. Why is the party putting up someone who will not even be a candidate in May for media slots like Any Questions and The Daily Politics? Would it not be best to reserve such media opportunities for MPs that we want to retain their seats?
