I've often wondered how the Liberal Party were left so screwed by the Liberal-SDP merger and how 90% of the membership left them - and all the leading figures (MPs, Council controlling local parties etc).

They really are a husk, which is a shame with Britain lacking a true liberal movement that has not been poisoned by the Left/Socialism.

They do however, have strong local support in Liverpool, Peterborough and Southampton - where local communities of all backgrounds normally have no hesitation in returning their hard-working councillors.
