It looks like it has been done on a free template from Microshaft, it has so much style about it. The feel is more like 'back of a fag packet'.

Can't see that going down well with anyone other than crims and terrorists!

We will work to remove the causes of crime such as powerlessness, gross inequalities in wealth, social exclusion.

I feel some really heavy duty socialism coming on...
... they didn't let me down:

Quote:

c) To distribute wealth fairly, waging war on poverty and ensuring a minimum standard of living for all, but also rewarding innovation, initiative, commitment and good work;

d) To encourage cooperative ventures and organization on a human scale;

They seem to be adept at either mixing their messages or not really understanding what it is they want to be and do.

Quote:

We remain committed to a genuine free enterprise economy with stricter controls over monopoly power, similar to the US anti-trust laws, and greater employee participation, including co-ownership.

Muddled it most certainly is, the last part especially so.

Interesting discussion about the Lib Dems. UKIPers often suggest infiltrating teh Tories, which is odd seeing as we are so thoroughly penetrated by Tories, especially in Brussels, but many of their existing supporters want to free us from teh EU (although not enough to join iu sobviously) so looking at infiltrting teh Libs is an option we should embrace. Labour nmembers are 1/3 in favour of withdrawal, but infiltrating Labour would be useless as itt is a fascist organisation run by a dozen or so gangsters Even the Unions who pay for it cannot influence the Government - has your job been sold to a private equity firm? We had a terrible council campaign - I am in favour of looking on the bright side but; for heaven's sake; 5 councillors from 1,000 candidates is not going to make the ruling classes pause from thier policies of mass immigration to lower wages, and selling british commerce to foreign 'investors' The Libs are alrady weak from having a geriatric leader and teh tramping of organic sandals in teh direction of the Greens.

There's more chance of finding Elvis alive than there is of the Liberal Dims turning eurosceptic.

Wade through it.

It's what's left of the recidivists of the old Liberal party after the SDLP merger and spat. They hang on in a few parts of the country as local councillors.

They seem to be anti the Euro, but for some sort of reformed EU. Very keen on dogs being treated properly and the environment.

They appear to have some lovely ideas which I think most would agree with! Then they go off into "fantasy land" and talk about World government, when most free thinking people hate the thought of being governed by the EU! All out and out Liberals will never accept the fact that men are not equal, never have been never will be! That in this life you will always meet greater and lesser mortals than yourself, make the most of what you've got! If the day ever arises when mankind meekly accepts World Government, then I hope a bloody great Asteroid wipes us out!
