        Libertarian Party

        Libertarians believe in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and freedom from government—on all issues at all times. We don't say government is too big in one area, but then in another area push for a law to force people to do what we want. We believe in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and freedom from government—on all issues at all times.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          Actually Liberals have only formed a coalition with Labour once, the Lib-Lab pact of the 70's, and arguably they did much better out of it than Labour did. Previously they have formed coalitions with the Conservatives on at least two occasions during WW1 and WW2 under Asquith and Lloyd-George respectively. More recently they have flatly refused coalitions with Labour in both the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish parliament when these have been offered by Labour.


          Four ex Labour MPs(Shirley Williams, Roy Jenkins, David Owen and Bill Rodgers) formed the SDP in the early eighties. They later merged with the LibDems in 1988. This is further strong evidence that they are more closely aligned to Labour, and thus will almost definitely align with them in a hung parliament. If people get another Labour HMG in 2010 they will richly deserve it if they voted LibDem IMO.

            I do make a point of voting but my constituency has only ever returned a conservative candidate (with a huge majority) which can make my vote seem fairly pointless.

              I used to think that until there was a significant swing where another party got in (with a small majority).

                They will get their conditions met by the SNP as they are deperate to get the local income tax through.

                Anyway, who did vote for the SNP?
