you sound pretty sympathetic to them ...
i'm not entirely convinced about what role a third party in an adversarial system can have the only reason there is a third party in our system (and there are to be fair many more smaller ones) is due to the new kid on the block attracting loads of new and many first time voters that rejected the statusquo....
local elections though are another kettle of fish....
it seems though that public perceptions of what has been going on in the houses of parliament has had a bearing... what do you think though about the way that the liberals have been seen to carry the can...
if their role is a positive and moderating one then surely we should be getting that message is it us who is ignorant or unfair or what surely the moderators should be seen as heros? how do you see it that the tories vote stood up?
GOD BLESS!
Peace and Love,
