...elsewhere in the UK forum yesterday.

Basically, even with all of their baggage from the coalition the Lib Dems are looking far more of an attractive option than Tories or Labour at present. Also, were it not for a long list of local factors I might even consider joining them!

IMHO, the best way forward, not just for the Liberal Democrats but for those of us in general who want to keep Britain in the EU would be the creation of a number of formal alliances. The obvious starting point would be a formal coalition between the Lib Dems and the Greens. The current divided state of left wing politics is a major impediment to preventing the Tories and UKIP from f**king up everything.
