[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 6649636, member: 3566"] When I was younger, I felt most aligned to the Liberal party. As they have largely disappeared, the Lib-dem's were the next best thing. I agree with them on most things except the UK's membership which I consider as neither liberal or democratic. One of the consistent campaigns of the Liberal democrats during their existence is the need for electoral reform as the number of MP's elected from each party does not reflect the share of a party's vote. Suddenly this has become completely irrelevant and however small their share of the vote is, they believe it entitles them to overturn the result of a referendum 33.5 million, should they win. When asked why they were campaigning against Labour in seats where the conservatives could win, they espoused the need for voters to be given a choice. They have a pact which denies voters a choice in 60 constituencies. One of the good things about having a referendum was that I felt free to vote Lib-dem again. The way they have conducted themselves makes me doubt whether I will again for some time. [/QUOTE]
