Liberal Democrats: Call for a lost voice
March 8, 2011 9:12 AM
• [Mar 08] The Guardian writes: THESE are, to put it mildly, difficult times to be a Liberal Democrat. What is more, as Nick Clegg regularly tells colleagues, those times are about to get a whole lot worse. Lashed to the mast of a coalition with the Conservatives whose existence has made many of the party's erstwhile voters despair, the Lib Dem high command nevertheless feel compelled to stand up for coalition decisions on a range of policies with which many of its voters and activists, and even some ministers, disagree.
. . At the moment, however, the Lib Dems are not making their voice heard on issues where their voice ought to be. If the party is true to its liberal roots, as well as alive to its own self-interest, it must be willing to stand up for the values that helped raise the party to a position of power in the first place. If not now, when?
