The only thing I agree with the lib-dems with is Proportional Representationbut it has to be done correctly. I don't care whether it leads to more 'shared' governments everybody has a right to have their views expressed in parliament and only through PR will you get more voices into Parliament at least through debate more reasonable balanced policies could be formed and things like massive spending cuts won't be able to be pushed through unchallenged.

They were really promising as a third party.Their holding the balance of power would have forced both Labour and Conservative to challenge their thinking and could have thrown up some genuinely progressive policy. Now they're trapped in the Unholy Alliance by a coalition agreement that emasculates them as far as providing any credible resistance to Tory policy goes, binds them to a strict party line on all bar a couple of issues (electoral reform being one), and undermines them completely on these issues.
