UK's Liberal Democrats, Political Positions?

[Democratic Hawk]

From their tactics, locally, it's hard to tell. I've seen leaflets with them running on Gordon Brown standing outside 10 Downing Street with Margaret Thatcher (i.e. playing on residual local antipathy towards her); yet there's speculation that they'll jump into bed with the Party of Thatcher, in the event of a hung parliament, having played on residual anti-Thatcher sentiments for Labour votes

I wouldn't vote for them. Too feckless on defence and of a pre-9/11 mindset when it comes to security, for a start

Translation: they're against the police state that Britain has become, unlike the other two parties. And that is why people need to vote for them.

But I'm a neocon, Lief , for whom, security serves only to enhance liberty from those who'd seek to deny us both

Either Britain has always been a police state or it is not one now.

That was sickening

Moreso than our resident 'experts' in this thread, anyway.  

Makes no difference to me where they all stand, Joe. I'm politically restricted
