Intersting and thoughtful blogpost from earthly ideas (Jason Borthwick) on why he's leaving the Lib Dems.
"I enjoyed being involved with a party in which you could consider both sides of the political divide, have excellent debates and it really felt that individual members had a say and were listened to," he writes.
"Sadly things have changed in the party. In an attempt to compete with Labour and the Tories, the LibDems have lost what was special about the party. The senior party activists are modelling themselves on the political animals that stalk the corridors of Labour and Tory central offices, more and more resembling the characters from ‘The thick of it’, the BBC political satire."
Aren't all parties like that these days..?
