The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free
and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental
values of liberty, equality and community and in which no-one shall
be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity

On his blog LibDem Parliamentary Spokesperson for Wealden Chris Bowers says "The disquiet exists, but is nowhere near as big as is sometimes played up in the media. And it has to be set against some clear realities. There was no choice for the Lib Dems after the general election, things would have been equally bad under a Labour government, and the current government would have been a lot nastier without the Lib Dems as part of it."
