the lib dems aren't in power - a lot of people seem to be finding it difficult to grasp this concept.0 -
I voted Lib Dems (not because I wanted to but because it was either them or Labour where I live). I don't think I'd vote next time around. All politicians are basically the same and nothing ever really changes. They still don't listen to the people who pay their wages and it's all about serving their own elitist interests imo and not what is best for the country. They're all very shorterm-ist, opportunistic and mercenary. I'm totally disillusioned with it all - it's one big lie called "democracy".0

I voted Tory and would vote again. Would have preferred a 100% Tory government to a coalition but you can't always have everything.0

So yes, I would vote LibDem again, or possibly Green depending on the strength of the local candidate. I cannot see myself ever voting Tory or Labour.I voted LibDems but will never vote for them again. If I wanted fast deep cuts I would have voted Tory not for a party that was arguing against them.
I suspect that grass roots lib dem support is going to continue to wane.
They've partnered up with the tories, who ideologically are too far removed for the grass roots. They are currently endorsing so many things which they actively campaigned against.
It'll be interesting to see where the support moves to. I think they could struggle to get it back. Ultimately this could leave them being cast adrift by the tories at the next election, getting a significantly worse return than this time.
The key to that election will be where those floating voters move to.It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
I will continue to scrawl 'none of the above' on my ballot paper. They are (almost) all unspeakable liars and morons.0

Please explain. When you voted back in May, what part of the Libdem manifesto were you attracted to?
Their pledge to scrap tuition fees?
Their pledge to oppose VAT rise?
Their pledge to ditch Trident?
Their pledge to oppose deep and early cuts?
Just wondering.0 -
Apart from a commitment to a vote on electoral reform and a small increase in personal allowance toward the £10k promised what have the LibDems got.0
