Labservatives: Incredible digital election campaign by Liberal Democrats

The Liberal Democrat Party has launched a website warning about the political complacency of Labour and Conservatives, and how they have both proven themselves equally inept.

• Winston Churchill was formerly a Liberal MP, over Free Trade in 1903

• The brilliant MP Roy Jenkins was part of the original formation of the later-combined Social Democratic Party

• The Liberal Democrat Party has been out of power for decades, so it's escaped scandal.

 

Liberal Democrat policies include:

• A per-plane environmental tax, rather than per-passenger (to ensure planes don't fly half-full)
• Alternatives to nuclear defence system Trident, which benefits no-one but arms dealers
• Reform voting system to be proportional, so there are no safe seats. (Weimar Germany got Hitler as a leader with proportional voting. It is fair to say it rewards dynamic leadership, and punishes political complacency - or "safe seats").
• An elected House of Lords (which I think would turn them into a bunch of snivelling, yes-men, as they are forced to pander to the media and electorate in vote-winning tactics. For now they can be politically indefensible about legislation, which is good for true debate).
• Scrapping ID cards and removing innocent people from DNA database (Tony Blair reportedly got the idea for ID cards from Jacques Chirac in France, so - you know...).
• Independent BBC, so we don't just have "Sky" (David Cameron has already had his meeting with Rupert Murdoch, who Alistair Campbell revealed influences policy like you wouldn't believe if it's in his commercial interests).
• Raise Capital Gains Tax rate in line with Income tax rate (so it's an interchangeable decision for people)
• Use raised funds to supplement income tax threshold to £10,000 (rather than £6,500).
• £55 a week minimum payment for work experience (this will be fantastic for social mobility and graduates).
