Lib Dems and the EU
Sir: We read that again the Liberal Democrats are blaming their leader for their fall in popularity in the polls. Does it not occur to them that it is their policies which are unpopular rather than their leader?
Those of us who greatly admire the Liberal Democrat stand on civil liberties and unfair taxes such as Council tax, which is not based on the ability to pay, cannot reconcile this with their desire to subsume our country ever deeper into the EU. Can't they see that this totalitarian regime, governed by a political elite, unelected and unaccountable to the people, is neither democratic nor liberal and is the antithesis of freedom and self-government?
Additionally, the Liberal Democrats are breaking their election promise by denying a referendum on the renamed constitutional treaty. How can they expect us floating voters to vote for them with this in mind?
