From: [personal profile] rmc28
I can think of an excellent example, based off [personal profile] liv's throwaway comment "the Liberal Democrats, er, basically failed to do anything actually liberal at any point in the last five years"

- raised income tax threshold bringing poorer workers
- free school meals
- extending free nursery hours to the poorest 40%
- massive increase in apprenticeships
- same sex marriage
- refused to let benefits be frozen when inflation was rising
- massively reduced child imprisonment before deportation (not eliminated entirely, but far better than it was)
- killed (repeatedly) internet snooping plans
- forced an actual review on drugs policy, and then forced it to be published


but you know, the compromises to get those things mean LibDems have done nothing liberal
