This is a normal post hehe, I do like this
The only thing I'll pick up on is "neither liberal nor democratic". This isn't true. The NHS bill and it's 'any willing provider' section certainly are economic liberal, and about half the votes at the spring conference were in favour of the bill. Eventually that balanced out to a compromise motion being passed that broadly supported the bill, but without explicitly calling on the lords to continue to support it.

There are a lot of problems with the lib dems… one is that there is a weird expectation that social liberalism and economic liberalism should go hand in hand, whereas in reality the Lib Dems would much rather be back split in two parties (and if real voting reform ever happened that'd happen pretty fast). Unfortunately, there are a lot of ex-tories in the liberal democrats, enough that the democratic aspect means they're listened to and their toryish policies get enacted. That said, when you compare the shit the libdems have pulled with the shit that labour got away with (even their NHS bill in 2006), and the tories alone before them… I'd still vote libdem as the best of a bad bunch.

The other thing that's wrong with the libdems is that we fooled ourselves into thinking we weren't electing a bunch of careerist politicians. We were dead wrong. Nobody can deny that, you can imagine the crap Clegg would be saying if he wasn't deputy PM about Cameron selling off the NHS, it's the worst kind of negative politics and I wish we could switch them out for people less power-hungry.
