Liberal Democrat simultaneous ecstasy!
Well, this woolly old LibDem can’t remember when it happened before. A full suite of activist rave reviews for a leader’s speech. And wall-to-wall leading on all the weekend TV bulletins for a positive LibDem story. And what’s more it was the Spring conference! And Nick Clegg had a sore throat! Am I dreaming?
James Mcintyre put it very well in the New Statesman in an article titled “A Good weekend for the LibDems”:
I cannot remember so much publicity for what has traditionally been known as the “third” party since the ugly removal of Charles Kennedy as leader in January 2006. In terms of positive coverage, this weekend has been something of a modern record: I don’t recall the Liberals dominating political coverage on Sky News, say, as they were late last night and today.

Hmm…a few days previous, it was the lack of daffodils that was headline news! ;P
Slow news days, indeed. But us Liberals are thankful for positivish media coverage for whatever reason.
I understand that, I’m an ex-Lib Dem voter
The best single policy that the Lib Dem’s have is the raising of the tax thresh-hold.
