What is wrong with the Lib Dems?

The Lib Dems have been discredited by their ConDem alliance and their U-turn on their Manifesto pledges.  They have become the ‘fall guys’ for the Tories’ cuts.  They broke their promises in the 2010 General Election on:

Job cuts
VAT increase
Student tuition fees
Public spending cuts

The Lib Dems demanded the AV referendum as one of the prices of coalition government, from which they hoped to benefit.  The Referendum cost £91million and the AV system was voted down by the electorate in May 2011.

Danny Alexander, MP, once told an audience: Vote for us and keep the Tories out.

The result of this betrayal of their own voters can be seen on this Poll Tracker, where the Lib Dem support collapses from 28% at the General Election in May 2010, briefly ahead of Labour at 27%, to around 10% and even single figures.

It is questionable to what extent the Lib Dems have moderated the Tory policy on the NHS, the EU, etc.  In an alliance with Labour they might even have locked Britain into the euro by now - but that is for the Lib Dem supporter to agonise over.  However the Lib Dem leader, Nick Clegg, had a significant influence on David Cameron to push forward the agenda to redefine marriage.  This is a terrible legacy to leave this country, and the only way to save Nick Clegg from this legacy in time and eternity is for the Westminster and Holyrood Parliaments to reject it out of hand.
