current Lib Dem viewpointGuardian

Ed Davey announced last weekend that he wants the Lib Dems to become the party of rural voters.
The party won more than six times as many seats as it had at the previous election and its leader’s otter-like frolicking was what made the difference.
While this technique has the potential to turn the Lib Dem into one of the two main parties, it’s at the expense of an attribute that the main parties always possess.
The Lib Dems have been exceptionally deft, of late, in targeting their resources so that, despite a vote share that hasn’t much increased, their representation in the House of Commons has sextupled.
Having mastered this technique, are they still going to push for electoral reforms that would render those skills obsolete? Perhaps they’d be fools to do so. Meanwhile, look at what has happened to the other major aspect of what used to be the Lib Dems ’ political agenda: their pro-EU , and until recently explicitly anti-Brexit , standpoint.
