Well, they may say that, but it's bonkers and they don't mean it. If you talk to Lib Dems on the ground, particularly not in Nick Clegg-land, which is very unrepresentative of Lib Dem-land . . . that progressive coalition is still there.
SOURCE: New Statesman -
I can only say that I think that they [the Electoral Commission] are kicking the smallest boy in the playground, that we are a much easier target than the Liberal Democrats and they pursued us relentlessly.
SOURCE: BBC News -
The reason the Lib Dems were having this conference was because of growing discontent about the leadership's opposition to a referendum.
SOURCE: The Sunday Mail -
There was genuine and widespread anger at the rigged question put forward by the SNP. The Liberal Democrats are a party that will remain at the heart of the debate on Scotland's constitutional future, but on our terms.

This is brilliant news for Sheffield people. There is a huge shortage of affordable housing in Sheffield and the Government is making a lot of money available to councils to build more affordable homes. I'm very pleased indeed to learn that, although the Lib Dems had originally decided not to bid for ex...

There is no way the Liberal Democrats will be voting for a referendum on independence two months before a general election. That is my idea of a very silly political campaign and one that Mr Salmond would be delighted with. I do not have any interest in playing his games.

The Lib Dems’ leadership is clearly under growing pressure from the party’s grass roots and elected representatives to support a referendum on independence. Two thirds of Scots and a majority of Liberal Democrat voters want a referendum, so Tavish Scott should listen to those wishes and support the Scot...

Cuts in services are a last resort but the Liberal Democrats would not want to see any cuts in either child protection or safeguarding of vulnerable adults

Local Lib Dems are opposed to the BNP application to hire Swanley banqueting facilities and support the refusal, as we are concerned that it would be used for a rally.

We are delighted to announce this new scheme and I hope that it helps to bring in more business for retailers in the city centre. This year has been tough for many of them so we hope that this scheme can provide a boost. Liberal Democrats know just how important it is to support business in the present ...

The Conservative leadership would aim to push through an emergency budget, including spending cuts and a possible rise in VAT, with the support of the Liberal Democrats if David Cameron fails to secure an overall majority in the Commons at the general election.

Annabel Goldie’s opposition to a referendum is just as illogical and anti-democratic as that of Labour and the Lib Dems. Within minutes of Annabel Goldie rejecting the right of the people of Scotland to choose independence, (Shadow Foreign Secretary) William Hague was extolling the virtues of a European...

This also leaves the Lib Dems in particular in a quandary – they claim to want to move Scotland forward, but their Tory partners in Calman – as ever – want to hold Scotland back. The closer we get to the General Election, the more the Tories are being shown up in their true colours
SOURCE: Times Online -
If the polls were to be believed I would have never been elected to Parliament in the first place. London-wide opinion polls like this always underestimate support for the Liberal Democrats.

It's all well and good for the Lib Dems to arrogantly ignore the wishes of the community and the police but local people want to know exactly how the Lib Dems are planning to deal with anti-social behaviour.

One the one hand, you do certainly have this shift. But people in all groups feel the economy, health care, Afghanistan are more important right now. Liberal Democrats may not feel it's a critical issue because they don't see any dangers on the horizon for abortion rights with Obama in the White House, ...

NHS hospitals raked in more than £110m in car parking charges last year, figures obtained by the Liberal Democrats show. The figures, disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act, show visitors were hit with £84m in parking fees while NHS staff forked out £28m. Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge made...

This year was even better than last year. We ran out of badges and nearly ran out of stickers. There is still enormous support for our campaign to scrap tuition fees and more students joined Winchester Liberal Democrats than ever before.

Make no mistake – the Liberal Democrats will do things differently in Britain. But if you want real change in Britain, you have to take a stand. If you want what we propose, you have to vote for it.
SOURCE: The Independent -
What the Lib Dems and the Tories do not seem to understand is that it is not just thousands of jobs in BAE in Lancashire, it is tens of thousands in the supply chain as well. For the futures of these men and women to become a political football for conference season is just wrong, in my opinion.

A vote for the Tories is a vote for more crime. The Liberal Democrats are now the party of law and order.

This is why people are turning off from the Liberal Democrats and why we want people who have voted Liberal Democrat to come home to the Conservatives
