The Lib Dems continue to advocate for proportional representation and closer ties with the EU, Including rejoining the single market.
These policies position themselves as a distinct alternative to Labour, Conservatives or Reform, appealing to voters frustrated with the electoral system or Brexit.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.

For over two years after the Brexit referendum, the BBC silenced the voices of the roughly 50% who supported Remain because the two main parties in Parliament supported Brexit.
But when Farage gets 30%, the BBC gives him massive coverage.
