Hey, Liberal Democrats! People are keen to try and fix Brexit, they want standards on clean air indoors for public health, and we really, really need proper and urgent action on Climate change. What can you offer?

"We'll try and make sure that if you need a doctor, one will phone you within a week"

It's utterly, utterly tragic how far my former party has fallen. What an utter, utter lack of ambition. It's just, "The future is going to be shit and there is nothing we propose to do about it".

Probably some from column A, some from column B. There is definitely a dominant ethos of "don't scare the horses" in the Lib Dems now that the properly progressive wing of the party has tried for years (and, sadly, failed) to replace with actual radical politics.

They have got into a situation where the MPs care first, and foremost, about defending their own seats. This means never doing anything that might cause strong feelings in the people who are currently electing them, on the basis that if they don't spook the horses, they will vote for the name they did last time.

That tactic, however, goes to only one place: eventual total extinction.
