This is why Ed Davey needs to resort to stunts to get any attention at all. The focus is constantly on the right of politics. Even Labour is focused on Tory/Reform & don't seem to care about the voters they are hemorrhaging to left parties. Yes, I think the Lib Dems are more left now than Labour.
Do the Liberal Democrats get their fair share of press coverage?
The Liberal Democrats are often said to get disproportionately low press coverage relative to their electoral support, but is this true and if so why?
