I just feel they get an unfair amount of hate.
People always go on about Nick Clegg 'betraying' students but don't understand that the Liberal Democrats entered a coalition in which both parties had to renege on manifesto promises.

I like what they are doing with free childcare, bus passes for college students, I like how they also want to stay in the EU!

They are ok. I do agree that Clegg has been demonised excessively.
The choice in my constituency is SNP or Labour though so I won't be voting for them. Perhaps in EU or Scottish government elections though.

I really think the lib dems have some great ideas, there are a real contender for my vote in the general election.

I also like how they at least seem half-committed to protecting our civil liberties compared to other parties.

It will be interesting to see how they do in the next EU elections considering the large hit they took at the last one.

It will be interesting to see how many seats they manage to retain.

I suspect the Libs won't be as low as polling suggests though so 40-45 is probably nearer the mark.

Should be 30+. Tories are second in 33 seats and the swing from Lib to Tory is only around 2% according to Ashcroft meaning that they'll probably hold the vast majority plus a few Lib-Lab/SNP ect.. where the other party is too far away.

I'm of the opinion that anyone who does vote for them proves that they should have their right to vote rescinded.
If they drop below 30 I'll celebrate, if they stay above 40 I'll lament. I think the soundest seat by seat prediction had them at 33 region, so I'll most likely have this face on

The members particularly Nick Clegg don't inspire me.
It'd be a wasted vote now anyway even if I suddenly changed my mind.

Always been more left wing than their policies allow.
